Hey man...love your playing. You're getting better and better. I wanted to invite you to check out leftyfrets net for a really cool lefty only guitar related forum. Tell em LeftyLP sent ya! Cheers
Acoustic Guitar magazine November 2000 does a really good tab of this in their Off the Record spot. The tuning is CGCGCD tuned down a step according to them. I've played their tab and it works. You can get back-copies I think. This takes nothing away from this version which sounds really good (and by a lefty the same as me!).
Hey man - nice percussive snap - thanks for the tuition. Any idea what tuning Nic used on Farewell To The Gold? I'm damned if I can find those beautiful sweeping elusive chords that he uses.
Forgot to mention Nic's wife also warned me that Nic habitually tuned about a semi-tone flat in all his tunings so the recording was done B F# B F# B C#, hope this helps anyone trying to learn it from the recording. I tried for ages but I don't have enough ability.
Well done thanks for the demo. The original tuning is C G C G C D (C Modal). I got this direct from Nic's wife who kindly replied to an email I sent a few years ago.
Thanks, I used D G D G B D here, though I think the original was different. I am starting on 6th string 5th fret, and 5th string 4th fret, with open 2nd string. The 'ping' sound is hit on the 4th string. I have to stretch a lot to play this so the arrangement could prob be made easier, hope this helps

It's open G, but taken down 2 steps, so open F really

Nic Jones is the best and you really capture the right feel here. Fantastic...now lets see a version of Plowman Lads!

Fantastic! Any chance you could post what your other hand's doing? I can't work it out at all! Is it CGCGCD tuning?

Thanks for the clues! I've been trying to work out how to play this on and off for months now, but hadn't tried DGDGBD.
