  • Oh dear - I've been working this up in CGCGCE and now I don't know! There are some parts that don't work - I guess he must have done it in CGCGCC. (Is that the gospel truth?) As well, I'm doing it on a Guild D25 which is a jumbo/dreadnaught. I think this size is a lot more faithful to his sound. Thank you!!

  • @gt40mk21 It's definitely CGCGCC. There is no other way. All the notes will fall into place in CGCGCC. Good luck.

  • Outstanding! I've always looked for tabs for this song and could never find any. Do you have tabs for it? You did an amazing job of faithfully reproducing Fahey's arrangement which I love. Thanks!

  • @Obrotherbobby

    Sorry, I don't have any tabs for this song. I'm glad you liked the rendering, thanks. CS

  • Great job! Sounds really spot on.. That CGCGCC tuning is one I have never tried, but your post will motivate me to do so. Thanks for sharing.

  • @specialrider54 I'm sorry I have been remiss in acknowledging your kind reply. Have you tried the CGCGCC tuning?

  • @Obrotherbobby You could try this, I'm doin not too bad with this method: play, pause, try to copy, rewind, play, copy, repeat for a while, try the next bit, then curse my poor skills and try again another day :o)

  • Lovely. It even sounds a bit distant like his version.

  • AMAZING & FABULOUS ....

  • @faheyplayer Yes I have, and it is very different idiom indeed. In particular, I am working through your "Catfish" tutorials. Just curious - do you know of any other compositions in this tuning? Thanks. Dave.

  • Hey thanks Artful.

    That there's a Taylor XXV. Traded it in for a Collings D2H.

    Re the touch, there's a lot more where that came from...any requests?
