Man I Don't Know How Long You've Been Playing Guitar But Josiah That Was Awesome. Man I Envy You Guys That Can Play The Guitar. I Love The Sound Of The 12 String Guitar. I Own two 6 strings But I Cant Play Them Like I Wish I Could. Ur A Truly Talented & Gifted Person,

@desert122 Hey thanks I appreciate it. It sounds like you have to get a 12-string. This is a Takamine and not that expensive. The dirty secret about the 12-string is that if you tune it to any open tuning, you can't go wrong. It just automatically sounds fantastic without any effort.

i finally get it dude its in open e dammmmmm i had such a hard time making sound like the original.thx bud

[JosiahAltschuler]

Hey there JeremioDeuce, it's open D:

D-A-D-F#-A-D

Might be a bit difficult to pick out because it's on a 12-string, and that makes the notes hard to pinpoint...especially listening through Youtube.

@JosiahAltschuler Someday I Probably Will Acquire A 12 String Guitar. I Love The Sound Of Them With People Who Really Know How To Play Them. Thanks Josiah

Great performance

[matthewjameshardin]

Fantastic playing there Josiah! That's the first time I've heard this song on a twelve string and it sounds outstanding! You are a truly talented guitar picker. This song, Deep River Blues and My Granfather's Clock are some of my favorite songs performed by Doc Watson. 5 stars
