The other day CJB, member here and there, bought a vintage 30s Martin 0-17.....congrats...and I went and dragged my 1944 Martin 0-17 out for a quick play and haven't put it down since!

I pressed record during one of the times I was playing and so here is a blues with the secret ingredient - my new Shubb gold capo on 3rd:

I really like the jazz tinged and loose feel of your playing.  Very precise sounding.

While I am not much for capos (I need all the lower frets I can get) I do got something you might find fun.  I enjoy playing in drop D  tuning such as Blind Blake's "Chump Man Blues."     If you slap a capo on the second fret but leave the low E open as a drone, it gives you a drop E tuning.
