This month, the Iron Duke shows us his true grit with some processed Ry Cooder-style guitar in A minor, D minor and E major, each with rhythm, lead and slide parts. Major and minor arpeggiations are also provided along with some mournful squeals for those Brokeback Mountain moments. A selection of acoustic bass riffs (both picked and thumbed) and a barrel-load of percussion rounds things off.

From twangin’ jaw harps to tremulous harmonicas, these samples will have you riding tall in the saddle until the cowboys come home.
