@Mapmanjag Aren't you the coolest. Music isn't a contest about who listens to the radio less, Eminem and Lil' Wayne aren't any less or more talented than Dock Boggs.

So while my friends are listening to Eminem and Lil Wayne, i listen to Dock Boggs

@AgentCarter That makes it G minor rather than G modal. You should turn the B string UP half a step.

[jackbeefus]

@jackbeefus Oops, thought this was the other version.

I agree with vcp430 that he's in sawmill here, but it sounds to me like he's a half step or two, which was pretty normal for Dock.

The best version is from Louvin Brothers

@Timothydlol the tuning dock used is gDGCD, otherwise known as sawmill or mountain minor tuning.

[AgentCarter]

@Timothydlol the same as open g expect you tune the second string down a half step

[MusicMan20061210]

[Timothydlol]
