Hi there, that's a lovely version of the song! Is that in standard tuning?

[fretworkguitar]

@voodoohamsterdoll Thanks, I think I was playing this in dropped "D" tuning - with the low "E" tuned down a full step to "E".

@Zarkoon - Thanks for the message - You're right, I've never picked cotton - sounds like a really tough job, but have had my share of jobs that weren't much fun myself, so that helps me relate a bit. Glad to hear from you.
