I´m So Glad

Nehemiah Skip James in my simplified interpretation. Strange what derives from a cheap pocket-camera, a cheap guitar an´ a two bit guitarist too; this rendition to Skip James is a lightyear from the original expression. Yet, to a happy amateur like me, it prevails great pleasure to try out anyway. Skip James, if interviewed on his opnion of other musicians, often said. "I never criticize a mans music". And that healthy attitude gives me a sort of consolation as regards my own performance-level. Does´nt all have to be so damn perfect, so - I´m So Glad, too. Eric Clapton, by he way, has made a beautiful edition of this number

Hey lostintheblues. Forgot to mention the cross-tuning by name: Vestapol DADF#AD changes to DADFAD

[stringpiano]

Hey lostintheblues. It sounds much like an ordinary Vestapol (open D / open E); yet, it´s called a cross-note tuning( open Dm / open Em). The third string is lowered 1/2 note. In addition to the present tuning I generally lower my guitar one full note to ease the effort of fingerpressure. To compensate from the loss of stringperformance I use a capodastre.

If you're a two bit guitarist then I'm a half bit guitarist! Superb, really enjoyed that, thanks.
