[MadhuNitai]

well... thank you for letting me notice that si actually a DIFFERENT TUNE... after almost two years!!!!

I rekon it's the B part of Toss The Feathers, the D Version (the one played by The Corrs).

[TheMrGoodin]

Is that a Jason Simpson guitar?

[MadhuNitai]

that I don't know, I told me it was made by some luthier.

[somebritishdude]

[MadhuNitai]

Drop D.

Silly this is really really silly! On a Tinwhistle maybe... a person with some tuition might get Irish Traditional Dance music in a couple of years...

But on the Guitar? naw..
