oops, you make me blush; but big thanks of course; it's always great to get big compliments!

sounded so familiar, really nice eastern influenced tune

[Fabyr]

Great work, I like your style!

I use GDAD as in Irish music. [regular tuning is GDAE]

For many years I used ADAD, which is easier for a lot of tunes, but GDAD gives you the possibility to play more interesting chords.

Sorry I forgot to ask....What are you using for the open tuning (before capo is added).

Thanks....I tune my Cittern GDAEA which works very well for playing melody, but not as friendly when chording

What a brilliant composition! Your a wonderful composer! If you have anymore Please post them. Also that Mandola has a wonderful tone to it, who made it?

[BenDirks]

I will post some more for you. But don't know when. The mandola is an octave mandolin made by Moon Guitars Scotland
