    OK, this seems to be taking a while so here is the progression in Dm ( the saddest of all keys ) that I gave to my lyrical band mates to write some words to.

    I told them to push the chords around if they wished and this particular progression although the foundation for Brown Bottle is not where it finished up and it's also not the same feel.

    Feel free to have a play and post your results, I'll come up with something over Easter as a break from the country based stuff I'll be doing.

    The chords are ( from memory )
    Dm - A# - A - A7
    Dm - A# - A - A7
    Dm - A# - Dm - A#
    Dm - A# - G - A - A7
    Dm - A# - G - E - A - A7

    Repeated it runs for just over 2 minutes, have fun

    Edited to add, this was a bit of an afterthought and it's now a bit late here in Sydney but I'll do a stronger mix tomorrow and upload as a wav for you to work with

    Cheers for posting the chord progression, I'm going to have a go at jamming along to the track you uploaded to soundcloud so I can work out a rough Blues melody to go with it, this will actually be something new to me, but I'll give it my best shot and see what I can come up with.
