Stirling Brig - Warm Up

I'm working on a blues piece in 57 bpm for Nath - have some chops to work up!

Was riffing off this old Stirling Brig groove - it's a simple Em / D thing with the odd C / Cmaj7 thrown in for fun every now and then. Was playing around with it on the guitar earlier this evening - this of course sounds nothing like it but it was a good place to be for a while. Gonna enjoy this one...;-)
