Recorded using the SG-12 (Chapman 12 string Stick Guitar)

5. Happy Go Lucky:
In early 2010 I bought one of Emmett's first SG-12 instruments (12 string Stick Guitar) and I instantly loved it. Took to it like a fish does to water. My 10 string Alto Stick got very lonely- I couldn't keep my hands off the new SG-12. I was trying everything on it. I found some things worked and some things didn't. The new higher range was almost too high for some songs and the teeny tiny little frets made it a challenge to play it cleanly. If the Grand Stick were a regular billiards table then the new SG-12 was a snooker table. You can't 'slop' in the ball like you can on a regular pool table. You're either right on or you're not. This song was inspired by walks down the beach with my wife Christine and our dog at all times of day and night. Every time we walked I felt "happy go lucky" so the idea morphed into a song I started recording one day after a walk. Everything on this song was recorded using 12 string SG-12 Stick Guitar.
