This is the first time I could actually do an alternating bass with my thumb,
it was a happy day lol,
Also the first slide song I figured out myself

[Schwalbe]

I like that!  Nice, very nice. 
Here's a you tube of Peter Lang doing it.

Nice playing, that was one one of the first slide tunes I learned too.

first time alternating bass?  not sure I get the truthfullness/wryness of that statement, cause this was really nice!  proof how nice a "simple" alternating bass and slide work can create a really compelling combination of rhythm and melody.

well thanks....what I meant was that it was the first time I could actually do it through the whole song and not mess it up...  since then I can now do John Hurt and Blind Blake stuff not too bad, it just took a while for my brain to get the alternating bass thumb thing automatic
