This number is rather short and is guitarmusic in the simpliest way (not the easiest )

It is composed and originally played by the american countryguitartist Merle Travis and many times covered (by Chet Atkins, Tommy Emmanuel, Jerry Reed, Brian Setzer and even by Duane Eddy).

It's called: Cannonball Rag

Recording and mix are very simpel: Onetrack, mono with a little bit "slap-like"echo, and a bit drum, all played on de Telecaster.

It is the first time that I post a number played in this style, so...


Klaas

Thanks Rob!

Yes indeed, it is a constant battle with that rebellious thumb

Cheers

Hi Klaas,
Excellent playing - That's such a difficult technique to acquire and you played it superbly.
Congratulations and very well done.
Cheers Phil

If i wore a hat i'd take it off to you
I really envy anyone who can play in that style. I've tried many times but guess I need to persevere.
Wonderful stuff, i could listen all night.
Thank you.

Thanks Phil and Mikey!

Cheers,
Klaas
