  • More of a church key tuning, RTZ.  Thanks!

  • I feel better thanks John,  Is that a Church tuning?

  • Thanks, Doug. And thank you for your help on song chord structure.   I've had trouble getting this song down pat.  This was a first take video, but I can not always do it so well.  I will keep at it and when polished, maybe play it in church or on ho-made.  Maybe even the guitar used here.

    Thanks, AGP.  The older I get the easier I get cold.   I am down about 20 pounds, so if I can keep the weight down, next winter may seem colder yet.  Hang in there, your spring is just weeks away.

  • Monday Morning in the Land Down Under, so I'm guessing its, Go To Church Gospel Singing Sunday in Ogden Iowa, which was once a very regular event, we all used to look forward to seeing each week, a little quiet lately, I'm sure the result of the Covid Pandemic, of course the BEG# tuning is the 5th, 4th & 3rd strings of a regular open E Six String Tuned Guitar, but can't recall anyone using it, until now!, your looking nice and summery in shorts, hope your summer lasts a bit longer, and our summer down here arrives sooner than later, not sure if its because my bones & body are getting older, but of all my 50yrs of living in the so called Sunshine State of Queensland Australia, this in my opinion has been the coldest winter I have seen, not cold by your standards, but cold for this old Reptilian Sun Lover.  ;-D

  • Great song choice for a Sunday morning Uncle John! Classic “Uncle John” signature style. Well done.

  • Thanks, Bob.   Hope you are having a great summer.  Mine is going by too fast.

  • Smart tuning Uncle J. Very nice Gospel tune.  A holy vibe played on a none-hol(e)y git. Nice T-sandwich intro.

  • Ha ha, Andries.   A fine likeness of me...   Yes, sir.  A players side sound hole.

    Thanks, Rope,

    Kale, it has the same string relationships as DGB.   I used the ADG strings off a six string set and tuned the guitar ADF# for open D.   Then I decided to us an E harp so, I guess I had several options.  Capo or tune higher seemed easiest and it is a 22 and 3/4 inch scale, so I just tuned up to EBG# for open E.  

  •  Diggin’ that UncleJohn Seal too, ADEker.

  • That's an unusual tuning. I can't say I've seen that before.
