Happy Easter to all BIAB users.

Joe's Apology is my first published foray into finger picking. Fortunately for all of you, this is an instrumental so you wont hear any of my dulcet tones. So this tune came about as a challenge within our guitar group by our third member, not Andrew Dee. The challenge was to do something else with the chord progression C G D A E (circle of fifths) as was used by Jimi on Hey Joe. We weren't limited (as far as I'm aware) to keep it a completely Major progression, so that's where I've sourced my variation using minor, sus, maj7 chords etc. I don't profess to being a fluent finger picker, I have to reach saturation practice point before I can get it to a point of acceptable fluidity. As you will hear with this recording, it's a steady picking pattern, nothing too fancy. Any comments on the mix would be welcome. I've listened through 2 sets of headphones, PC speakers and even the TV. They all vary in which tone and instruments they accent, I do need to invest in a set of reasonable monitor speakers. As you may or may not know, Hey Joe is a song about a man who kills his partner and flees to Mexico. This is sort of like a sequel, where he is captured and is remorseful for his actions. Don't examine the still AI images too intensely, AI can be nonsensical. I'm releasing this ahead of our groups scheduled get together next Wednesday, sorry Andrew, I've been sat on it for several weeks now and I'm in need of some community cheer. I also need to get my fingers in gear ready for Wednesday. I hope you all find it acceptable. Kind regards.

PS Get those fingers loosened Mr.Dee.
