Just curious, if this version was played on standard tuning, would this not be a considerable achievement, to play the song in standarsd tuning, since it was originally done on a guitar tuned to either D or E?

It would be more than a challenge to play in standard tuning. I used an Open E tuning... albeit my performance of it is a very sloppy one.

Very nice and played in standard tuning, not easy, very well done.

Sorry man, sounds good but you're almost there. Got some awkward moments that need refining.

I already covered that in the info area: "Here's my rendition with all my mistakes and timing errors."

What guitar player isn't aware of his shortcomings? Thanks for the reminder. All of these videos were made for my dying mother who lived in another state and wanted to hear me play.

Very nice ..loved it!

[jeffrdmn]

Skydog would be proud!

[snatchpussylesbo]

you can also play it drop d tuning with a capo on the second. although, your way sounds more authentic. good job!

[punkdphoua]

wow...sounds really soothing..i like it.

[slowmo67]

Nicely done.

[DooleyDawn]

Excellente! You did it justice for sure! One of my favorites :) Two thumbs up and a *snap&*!

[pshapiro]

i love it. one of the most engaging guitar videos on youtube.

great rendition man... i like it... and i dunno how people use guitars like yours, i know yours is probably of great value. though mine is seemingly much more comfortable. i have an ovation "applause" electric/acoustic edition with a curved back. very cozy

[BWhalin]

It's an open E Major tuning. Try it, you'll like it. Works great with bottleneck slide.

Awesome!How did you have it tuned for this?
