This is something that should go inte to the Aborted projects folder, since it´s not up to passable standards: it´s a result of my fiddling with Audacity and trying to come to grips with that program. (That´s a man´s job, I can tell you.)
But there can be a lesson here for intermediate players: Making good sense of a melody is rather hard.
This is an easy tune, a version of a standard spiritual, but it should be plain to hear that I´m rather uncomfortable on the first two passages, whereas the third, ad lib, runs kinda smoothly.
Try it for yourself and see how it goes. I made three attempts and they were all equally bad; took one of them; then added some effects/overdubs. (It´s all harmonica and guitar -- but I nicked the drums from somewhere.)
Now, if the embedding works ...

(My example here is "Sometimes I feel", the first tune. Fail to se why other stuff came along. Technology makes my life difficult and this was no exception.)

Martin, I think you are being a little hard on yourself. "Sometimes I Feel..." was quite listenable. You played two pretty straight choruses that were in different octaves, so not boring, and I could recognize the tune. Then your third go 'round was the looser, go-for-broke one that topped it off. What's not to like there?

I think they way you did it was nice and had a soulful style to it.
