Simon Fox - The Grouse Grind - DAAEAE Tuning

Bluesy tune recorded live in New South Wales, Australia 2009.
Uses DAAEAE tuning, and a weird back-beat that drops a beat on each chord change in the main riff. Switches into a groove in the last half - chords + melody combined made easier by the tuning. Good fun song to play.

I'd have to say the grouse grind itself is a bit harder... I didn't throw up at the 30% mark playing the tune :)

Oh yes, I like this very much. Thanks, Paul.

what's tougher? doing the Grouse Grind or learning how to play it, great tune

Fantastic - a thumping Celtic beat with some wonderful melodies dancing through it. A highly creative and enjoyable sound.

I've looked at about 5 video's here of Mr.Fox playing songs. Absolutely outstanding, especially seeing how he is playing the majority of songs in alternate tunings. Again, outstanding work ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
