GibSunday: Some Satellites from Georgia

This #GibSunday theme was started by @sketch.and.jam to feature Gibson-style guitars as we had #TeleTuesday and #Straturday for the Fenders. Suggestions for other themes are welcome. Please join us in the Hive Guitar community.

I was looking for something to play and went through a folder of songs I've done with various bands. This is one from a trio lineup with me on guitar and vocals. This was probably the first song I heard by The Georgia Satellites back in the mid-80s. I loved their style, but never saw them live. I think @hockney has seen their singer Dan Baird at some festival.

I had to hunt out a backing track and found one on Soundcloud. More obscure songs do not have many options. It is one of those songs where the rest of the band do not kick in for a while, so I needed to find the exact place to start and keep with the minimal drums until then. I just about managed it. I think I missed a verse of solo at the end, but I was running out of ideas anyway.

I am playing my British-built Gordon Smith GS2 through my Zoom G3X on a Marshall setting.

This is the original song video.

Rock on!
