A Date With Carenza and Heavy Horses.

Carenza's my guitar you understand, this is her

and if the idea of a date with her sounds strange then understand that I'm either busy with dogs, horses, campers, bed and breakfasters or I'm performing with Carenza ........................ or I'm busy recovering from the above. Don't think there's anything stranger going on than me playing ma guitar and loving the sound and the interplay (or is that interplay and sound - chicken/egg)
So setting time to practice and/or learn something new has to be something I can find time to fit it in. I did a post last Monday about the bank holiday and said I wanted to have a go at Heavy Horses but the time ran away with me and that night I was performing so it never got done.
Don't get me wrong I pick up Carenza throughout the week, but getting some special time in front of the computer and being able to make noise without disturbing anyone - that's rare.
Yesterday I had horses to feed, dogs to walk and other such stuff, but managed to sit in front of the screen with chordie open and Youtube on another tab playing said song. Here's the best audio version.

All was going well until I found the bit that begins "Bring a song for the evening" and I quickly realised that the chords given were spot on but for this missing section.
Lazy to the last, I searched and searched the web for the missing section to no avail, even looked into buying it - no-one carried it.
Bit me lip and reapplied myself to that section and found a couple of chords that reoccurred and got the feel more and more with each relooping.
When I came back from chompers, I got it right after a few tries. The missing section cracked.
Today I've been prettey tied up with duties, but in the odd 15 minutes here and there I've gone back to it to polish my arrangement. But it's the feeling at realising a song you've loved for lontime and had baulked at learning before has been cracked.

The Diem was Carped, a very rewarding time!

How do you tackle these "envelope pushers?"
How do you go about practicing with regard to set up and personal mood?
How do you feel and what do you do when you've cracked a song that's pushed you?
Do you like my guitar?
