    My side of the family is in Illinois. They created a family chat group that they included me, though I am in Arizona. There are several stressful circumstances (and relationships). I usually don’t jump in much. It was getting out of hand Thursday. This song, which I wrote, recorded, and posted to the group quickly; was to hopefully add a bit of humor, and without pointing fingers, challenge all of us in the family to take responsibility, and take a breath (which I also wrote in a short message).

    Please tell me you’re not using standard tuning!

    Is it drop D? I’m looking at your fretting hand and I’m going: “No way”. I’m not seeing power chords, just curious!

    Nice job though, just the right amount of aggression for a good blues song! 🙂

      @albert_d Thank you!

      @petelanger It is open G tuning; using bar chords on the 3rd, 5th, and 7th frets; making A#, C, and D chords I believe. A good open timing to get a little grit and bluesy sound. Thank you!
