  Here’s my take on using 3rds – gotta love that country sound. I had recently found a lesson on thirds on youtube, and thought this would fit perfectly. I put a credit at the end of the video.
  
  I’ve been away from the challenge for a while, had to stop playing a few months ago because of pain in my right shoulder. But I got some meds and went to physical therapy for a couple months, and it has helped. So far this summer it seems all right. Fortunately, I’ve been able to get back into it. Busking about 3-4 times a month.
  
  Great to be back for the Challenge!

  Such a cool country chicken pickin’ groove! Perfect tele tone to match it, great demo, Bruce!
  ACPG has some cool tunes in his library as well, thanks for sharing “the source” 😉

  Sounds great Bruce
  Love the style and your presentation… sounded great/especially with the Tele and of course the chidken’ pickin’. That’s no easy feat. Hope your shoulder heals. Very cool that you are busking. It’s a blast isn’t it?
  
  Keep on rockin’
