Its Been Awhile (Hey There)

[Greeny]

Hey, Dave! What a sweet tuning - comes across very 'Nick Drake'. And the recorded tone is so lush and organic. Love it when you break loose into the solo. A gorgeous and thoughtful, gentle song. Wish I could pick like that, but I never will, lol.

So great to see you back recording and on these boards :-)

Oh god, yeah. That guitar is simply beautiful.

Good to hear your talented fingers once again.

Beauty! Love the alternate tuning and the fingerpicking. The BR-80 mics did a great job of capturing the guitar sound. Vocals sound great too.

I'm with Gnasty on alternate tunings. I'd only try it if I had some spare guitars that I could leave tuned a particular way. I can't be bothered retuning all the time. For me, a more practical option would be to get a VG-99 or GR-55. Then I could instantly switch between different tunings electronically without actually retuning my guitar. Have you ever tried that?

[Rata-tat-tat]

Yes... this is some beautiful playing Dave. I definately love this style of finger picking. I wish I could play guitar like this. Maybe I would be able to make tunes that weren't so "Hard Rockish"... settle down a little and write something that suits my age!!! But then again I still dig Rockin out!!!

Hey! Dave's back, and sounding fresh and on the top of his game!

Fab track mate, nice to see you around.

Hi 64

yes, I've tried it sometimes with my VG-99, but it's FUNDAMENTAL listening, when playing, with absolutlely *closed* headphones, elsewhere you'll listen both the open tuning AND the normal one, coming directly from your guitar strings...and it's a mess, impossible to play that way. Same problems with an acoustic Variax 600 guitar I had for some years: it had "inside" its computer several open tunings, but again, no way to play without closed headphones.

Apart from that, this is really a good song, Bluesberry! I too have actually a Seagull, and your has a great sound!

That was a fine performance, BB.
Interesting tuning and cool picking, brother.
