[MrDudaDuba]

why do you use a capo if you're playing a SOLO INSTRUMENTAL?

whatever... great cover. congrats

[thumbpickr1812]

@MrDudaDuba glad u like it - can't remember exactly why I used the capo here (maybe I was tuned down a way and wanted to get back up) but generally it improves the action and the intonation by bringing the strings closer and more uniformly to the frets - hence some old guitars having the first fret up close to the nut. <}:-)

[MrDudaDuba]

@thumbpickr1812 thanks for the explanation!

[hiddeninromance]

@MrDudaDuba Because it sounds better in that key?

@kloaStoawonga Thanks. We have to thank the Rev Davis for the tune, and probably for the vibe too! <}:-)

[thumbpickr1812]

there's more than one version - maybe you haven't heard Rev Gary Davis?

[dabble778]

Is this the version Dylan plays on his latest album Tell Tale Signs?

[thumbpickr1812]

sorry, don't know - haven't heard the album

[oasis050183]
