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

Your guitar is upside down.

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

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!).

good stuff.. I learnt more from these few minutes that weeks of research.. good man..
-
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.
-
Really helpful! Thanks very much. What tuning did you use for this?
-
nice playing.
-
Nic Jones is the best and you really capture the right feel here. Fantastic...now lets see a version of Plowman Lads!

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.
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, 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
