dG228 "Issadad" Jean-Paul Bataille

"Drop G Swing Studies" vol.1 CD available at http://jeanpaulbataille.bandcamp.com/

I worked with him in Paris back in the 70's : remembering the late Marcel Dadi.
A super nice guy, a brilliant guitar player.

I looked at your website... do tab's exist for some of your compositions?

@cduggerct1 The website is presently non functional.

I plan to work on that as far as I can. I'm presently working at recordings for an upcoming CD this year (I have enough material to actually make a 10 or 20 of them... but let's say that I'm just a serious hobbyist, and there are also job and family). Tabs of the recorded tunes are of course part of the plan.

Wow, loved that... when you say Drop G, can you share the exact not tuning? Not the same as Open G.

Thanks!

@cduggerct1

Well, I call it Drop G, because you drop the A string to G (and the low E to D), so it gives an open G 6th : DGDGBE. Just a two notes difference from standard. Could as well be called Drop D/Drop G, or Double Drop whatever, but Drop G is shorter ;-)

Thanks again
