This is a two chord song played in the old style. I play the main theme fingerstyle on an old 1920's 6 string banjo tuned in standard tuning capoed at the 4th fret. The two chords are Am and Em (C#m and G#m) I've overdubbed guitar played with a pick. I use my stomp box which is a very old tweed hatbox that I have attached a kick drum pedal to and miked with a Shure SM58. The bass part is played on a 5 string Yamaha by a very good friend of mine, Bob Spencer.
The banjo, stompbox and vocals were recorded live and the guitar and bass overdubbed.
Unfortunately compressing the sound file down to 800kb makes the vocals suck but you can get the general idea.
Cheers,
Chris
