I had to skip off early from today’s singaround session at The Plough Inn in Loughborough today as I had an extra rehearsal at church from tomorrow’s service. However, since I needed my electric guitar for that, I decided to take it too the pub as well, presenting an opportunity to perform the Twelve Good Men song that came back to mind the other day.

The song is mainly built around a standard blues guitar shuffle with an extra drop to the minor third at the end of each bar. That takes you through the first 8 bars and then there is an opportunity to play some partial chords up the neck before coming back round again. It also turns out to be a lot higher to sing when projecting my voice in a crowded pub compared to working it up at home but I just about made it.

And, yes, I did wear my black leather jacket, even through it wasn’t the one I had through all my youth!
