    This wonderful tune, number 56 at TheSession, seems not to be in our Other Tunes list, what is happening with this world!

    Fine picking there. Very free-flowing, Simon.

    Thanks Gents, just realised that the capo mandolin backing track is a little behind... gggrrrrrr!
    I found this a fun smooth tune with enough rhythmic repetition.
    I started by playing it slower, all over the neck and in different octaves in a sort of call response style. I even began a sort of anchor note memorisation.
    Might try that again sometime.

    Thanks Bbcee and CC - it’s funny but the off centre treble track did irritate me at first but now, to my ears, the tune sounds like a rabble of joyful musicians!

    Which gave me an idea!
    You know those 360 degree cameras where you can watch a movie in all directions? Well what about a session sound track with say 10 different instruments and the software is programmed so that when you look in a certain direction the instruments in that direction are amplified?!
    Probably already been done but if this Lockdown continues any longer it will be on the market,
