Wanted Man and The A13!

Everyone has heard of Route 66 but I've been playing Johnny Cash's 'Wanted Man' a lot recently and I thought it would be great to have a Wanted Man Route!

This is what I produced. From looking at the route, Johnny Cash must have been a busy man!

Maybe I will actually travel the route one day?

Incidentally, Billy Bragg did a homage to Route 66, 'A13, Trunk Road to the Sea'! Here it is on his Peel Session.

Joni Mitchell - Big Yellow Taxi

My version of Big Yellow Taxi at the New Crystal Folk Club.
Played on a Chord 3/4-size acoustic guitar, purchased from RockStar Guitars.

Bach - Prelude in C Minor

Prelude in C minor by Bach.
Not easy!
It's tricky because I get used to playing the bass D note in the middle section and then it suddenly changes to Eb. There's also a lot of big stretches and I only have small hands.

Keyboard is Yamaha PSR-E333. Same 'three tuning forks' logo as on the motorbikes!

Merle Travis - Dark As A Dungeon

I was working out the chords to Dark As A Dungeon by Merle Travis.

It's a great song and a great video.

Look at how he barres his chords with the index finger and thumb!

Merle plays this in A, but Johnny Cash plays it in Eb and Tennessee Ernie Ford in F. He's playing E shape open chords barred.
