Tuned down 1/2-step

Comments: Gene plays this pretty close to the vest. All of the stuff here
is from his usual bag of tricks. Using a lot of open strings he basically
stays within the given scale for each chord and uses a few connecting tones
for variety. What is really striking about this track is that the bass is
very distorted. Gene used that much more on this record than he had before.

Mmm, I think I'll take a chance

You wanna show me your stuff
For my money, you can't be too soon
