Pure bliss. Your performance and the subject matter are both inspirational. Love the simplicity of the arrangement - the vocal is so wonderful that it needs to shine through like this.

Wow.

Lovely, I really love your tuning, I guess you could call it Open-B......  I think I will give that tuning a try.  It has a real nice deep resonance.  It makes your acoustic sound like a million dollars.  Its like you are playing this on a $$$$ Martin.  Wonderful song.  I love non-standard tunings, its the new standard.

Alternate Tunings: CAUTION: your fingers have to be in different places

maybe Badd(sus4) ???

We should do this together soon ;)

And the best thing is, the lyrics will be as valid if I sing that as when you do !!

that low b on the fat string gives it the deep sound i think, and is like a drone constant in the background. mibbes should call it bagpipe tuning  ;D ;D och aye!

Like a real Scottish folk song, full of tantalizing emotion and atmosphere. Nice one, one listen and it feels so comfortable...
