Bernard, are the two low strings tuned to the same G, or is the low string a G an octave lower? Any tips on how to approach this song?

Thanks!

@marvy1118 im curious to see yer attempt at a fahey tune. it is no easy feat.

[KingDaisy]

He actually plays it in F# on the record, so it's F#, F#, C#, F#, A#, C#. Which is a little less stressful on strings/neck.

I know what syncopation is... I'm talking about the beat counts per measure. They're all over the map.

[2mMarco]

Its called syncopation marvy, John Fahey used it all the time, did you ever hear of him?
