Appendix N: Shine On by Eric Bibb

Evening all,

A few days ago, I randomly remembered a song which I heard sometime last year when watching an episode of House staring Hugh Laurie. The song is called "Shine On" by American Blues guitarist Eric Bibb.

A brief look into the beginning of Eric bibbs' career in music:

Eric Bibb was born In New York into a musical family. Eric's father, Leon Bibb, is a trained singer who sang in musical theater and made a name for himself as part of the 1960's New York folk scene. Eric was given his first steel-string guitar aged seven. At 16 years old, Eric's father invited him to play guitar in the house band for his TV talent show "Someone New". Aged 19, Eric left for Paris, where a meeting with guitarist Mickey Baker focused his interest in blues guitar.

Eric's full biography can be found on his website http://www.ericbibb.com/

After a quick search for the chords online, I began practicing. This song contains 3 individual tracks containing the different sections of the song all played by myself.


This is what the audio tracks look like during the recording process.

So here it is, enjoy this feel good song...
