I managed to find a backing track for Golden Brown. It's faster than I thought! :) I laid down the opening phrase on Audacity then the repeating backing riff and finally the melody line over the top for two verses. Next I added my vocals for one verse. I bailed out before the guitar solo;) I shot the fountain video with my Galaxy S7. It's on an A Harp. If anyone's interested in the backing track I'll upload it on dropbox.
