End of Year Round up Part 1

It's getting towards the end of my first full year of blogging on NBB, so I thought I might do a round up of all the tunes I've learned this year. It's a good way to see how you've progressed. So part one is John Henry and Cripple Creek, mainly because these are the songs that I've started to sing. And even though my voice is sh*t it's a lot more fun when you do sign along - it's the whole point after all! And maybe next year I'll get a bit better.

John Henry

After the mixed response to the open mike night I've been a bit off the banjo, but I thought you've got to get over it and get back on the bike. So I've been working on a version of John Henry and getting back into it.

John Henry

Trying out a new tune - John Henry which is a really famous American railroad ballad.
It's a very simple song, just G/D7 but sounds very driven.
