Thank you again my friends for all your kind words. BTW: We were drinking, Koko Brown Beer from the Kona Brewing Co. It was flavored with toasted coconut. Last week we tried the one flavored with coffee. Real tasty stuff. Enjoy.
awesome
Beer and Pizza Night !!! time to cut loose, good job on this guys!!!
Thank you everybody for your kind words. I though I would talk about how this song was performed.
Bill and I are both using the "Movable Chord Method" found on CD 6.
Although, we did a little something different with our guitar tunings.
The song is the key of E.
My CBG seems to play better tuned lower GCE. A whole step lower than the ADF# tuning associate with the Moveable Chord Method. Due to the fact that these two tunings are relative and all the chords are movable, I just moved up two frets to find the E, A, and B chords.
Bill wanted to take advantage of the open strings, so he is tuned ADF# (Open D) with a capo on fret 2. So, being moved up a whole step his guitars sounds BEG# (Open E).
So, by not playing the same chord positions during this duet, we created a fuller sound.
It is my hope, more players look into this approach. I believe it offers an easy way (only 3 finger chords) to play a CBG, that is extremely versatile (play in all the different keys like a standard 6 string) and organized (find the CBG chords you need to substitute for the ones found in 6 string guitar fake books)
Enjoy.
Hey Keni how long have you wanted to say "hello I'm Johnny Cash" As usual great work.
Prof
Really fantastic. More fun than you can shake a guitar shaped stick at.
"Hey, dis kid's purty durn good!"
Could not have been better if I had beer and pizza too!
Oh! I was digging the Midnight Special. But Folsom was just as good. Good as can be.
