    Nice change for a Greek tune, Simon. Is it my system, or is there some significant interference in the recording?

    Thanks John, it’s probably the cars in the background. It had rained earlier on so it’s even more noticeable.
    Yes the tune was selected for me by YT, and true, it’s nice to hear something different, though the title did make me wonder if it was part of some sort of marketing campaign!

    I like the tune, but I didn’t really get right emphasis with the rhythm half way through.
    Oh, well!

    A nice sounding exercise for your left hand's pinky, Simon.

    Have a look at ‘Entry of the Gladiators’, Christian! (No pun intended. )
    I’m working on that and John Kelly’s Eachaig Jig -good finger exercisers on the octave.
    And there are some cool simple fingerboard patterns on this one. I think the main rule is stay around fifth fret, keep away from the nut.
