Thanks you, you wonderful songcrafters.

[cuthbert]

That is some lush playing and great vocals - wish I had some of your talent!

[chunk]

Thanks Cuthbert. It's not about the technical ability. For me it's about the soul or intention or that thing that you can't define. I remember when I first heard Jonathan Richmond doing Roadrunner or The Clash doing White Man In Hammersmith Palais, they just blew me away. Simple songs but done brilliantly' but I don't think I would ever attempt them in public. It's just about picking the songs that your comfortable with.

Just stunning Charlie . . .

This is just wonderful!

What tuning are you using, Charlie?

Alfredo

[chunk]

Hi Alfredo, thanks for listening. The tuning I use is Open G ( E G D G B D ) taken down a full tone. So I think it becomes an Open F ? It can also be played in D A D F #A D  with a capo for whatever key you sing in. I find it easier to play in Open G.
Here is the Tab in DADF#AD tuning as a GIF image.
Best Wishes

It's such a pleasure to listen to you Charlie.  You've done an outstanding job on this.  Like the deeper tone of open F.  You sure know how to make your guitar sing!  Your vox is beautiful and suits the song so well.  Played from the heart.  DD

I missed this, it's not a song I'm familiar with.

This version is fabulous.
