Default Freight Train cover

This is my attempt of Freight Train with little twist in the middle and at the end.

Enjoy

One of the first tunes I ever learned and still one of my favorites....I love your variations...you really make it your own.

Cheers,

Blue

I thought it was pretty cool! Really like the different harmonies you add to parts and love that fast little thing you do in the middle - sounded really great.

That guitar sounds very good, too, I might add!

Thanks for the comments. I really thought I was going to get destroyed here since I'm just starting on fingerpicking and this forum has such a high standard for covers. Especially well known as Freight Train.

I did try it to add little twists in there so it;s not just another cover.

Thanks

Good effort. It was interesting to hear such a familiar played a bit differently.
