Krister Axel - acoustic guitar with slide

This is one of a very small number of slide solos I have taken in my life. There were drums on this track, but they got muted by mistake on this version and I love it. A traveling, self-discovery sort of vibe. Meditate to this one.

One of my best acoustic guitar instrumentals, this song is a great example of this Elizabeth Coten style of fingerpicking - aka 'upside down and backwards'.
