Thank you all so much for listening and giving the great support and feedback.
The first thing I have to say is “Drink Responsibly!”
A lot of you have commented on the fact that I had a few beers before posting the song. Probably not recommended as there is fine line between feeling relaxed and then finding that your fingers don’t do what they are told. 
I actually put the whole thing together in less than an hour. I of course knew the song really well so there was no issue there. It’s a 4 open chord, 2 verse, 2 chorus song so it’s got a very straightforward structure.
The Trio+ took care of the backing drum/bass and I went for a style that I felt reflected knockin’ on the door.
That just left the lead riff I wanted to include. The song is in G so I went for a pentatonic scale in Em, the relative minor of G. The fairly simple riff just ‘happened’. I toyed for a bit about creating more than one riff but in the end just looped the same riff over certain parts of the song. I thought it acted as a bit of a ‘hook’. This is the first time I’ve combined the loop and band creator functions of the Trio+. Prior to this I’ve used one or the other. I was pleased with the result so decided to AVoYP it.
I make tongue in cheek comments about my lack of recording equipment and realise the benefits of a more hi-tech approach. I enjoy reading the discussion posts from others about the different DAWs, settings for this that and the other. As I’ve said before, never say never.
I’ve been using an old phone connected to my amp to play streamed backing tracks that I can practice soloing over but that’s just given up the ghost so at the moment I’m stuck.
As for the YouTube thumbnail apparently you can’t change it if you’re uploading from a phone.
The original AVoYP is in my learning log.
