Gordon Lightfoot - Early Morning Rain (Cover)

It's about time I started honoring my requests; otherwise potential requesters may start wondering why they should bother. So here's the first request fulfillment. This one was requested by robfilmer, a very dear friend of mine from way, way back. In fact I'm pretty sure we met around the same year I started playing guitar. Here's to you Robert (Rob to pretty much everyone else). May we never lose touch again!

Excellent job Tim! Everything about this song sounds great. I'm glad I gave you a listen. I think your in standard tuning. Is this correct?

[GordIsKing]

@11gokey Thanks! About the tuning: it's not quite standard. I've got the E dropped down to D. In this way I was able to create a sound that comes a bit closer to what Gord is able to achieve with his 12 string. It still lacks the octaves on the high strings but gives me a good solid base when playing D-chords.

This is by far the best version I've found on youtube...Do you tab all your own music yourself, or can I find this version out there on the net somewhere? If not, have you considered doing a video lesson on any of the songs you've covered?

[GordIsKing]

Thanks! Yes, everything you see me do is my own arrangement. Even the Degrassi instruemental was worked out by ear. (Tabs did not exist for it at the time I worked it out.) I don't usually write down I what I work out though so no tabs exist for any of it. I have been asked many times for tabs and video lessons/tutorials. I would like to oblige, but I just don't have the time. Music unfortunately is a spare-tiime hobby for me. Thanks for listening.
