are you sad when you write your songs? cause they sound sad

[craigd19]

@DigitalEffect haha. sometimes I am. Other times I'm not but still enjoy the sad sounding melodies. my mood just doesn't matter.

i am just curious, how do you come up with the tunning for a song?

[craigd19]

@karen0444 Totally missed this comment. Sorry! I usually pick a chord that I like and try to arrange those notes in some sort of order. This one - it's D9 chord. sounds cool in standard tuning, works great as an open tuning. Also has lots of easy ways to play major and minor shapes. Kind of have to think about all of that when making a new one. It's easier to steal them from other guitarists!

[JMcConway]

Anybody know the tuning for this song?

[craigd19]

@JMcConway You guys have to start reading the description! DAEF#AD

@MrSister127 I'm not angry because i don't know how to read tabs ^^

[can6yrat075]

i's so delicious! d'andrea for President!

[petahbread14]

Being able to play guitar like this is one thing, but being able to actually create the songs you do is absolutely amazing. Bravo Craig you have a lot to be proud of.

[carebonez]

I think in alot of ways, your playing is the most tasteful and rich of all the distinguished CandyRat artists. I would rather be able to play in your style then the others for certain.

@soopa96 I found it quite easy requires a few techniques to master though hope this helps :D

[SnipySnob]

@soopa96 no song is too difficult to learn. You'll get this song down, it's got a couple of tricky parts but the rhythm is similar throughout most of it so you'll be fine.

[DeadlyPenguinMusic]

Amazing job Craig. I have no words to describe this.

[soopa96]

Hey Craig, How hard do you think this song is to play? I don't want to buy the tabs and realize that it's too difficult for me.
