there's a needle in the haystack by oldrottenhead

my inner puppy got the better of me, so knowing the alternative tuning festival was coming up, i tuned my £10 encore acoustic guitar to dadgad. so this wee simple or perhaps profound song happened.

two encore acoustic tracks and voice

Minimalistic and nice wee tune! Tuning sounds fresh and "different" as it supposed

[Ferryman_1957]

Lovely Jim,  a really nice laid back song. Love the title and the tuning really suits your voice. Lovely recording as well, it sounds like you are in the room with me. Which may be a bit scary.....

[Hook]

Love it brother, keep looking!
Rock On!

[Jarle]

Lovely song James. You can be sure to find the needle when you stop looking and lie down in the hay.

[Greeny]

Really enjoyed this one. So natural and direct, and the alternate tuning adds a bit of spice. Great intimate recording too. Can't you even wait a day for the fest to start?!!!! The song's a beauty though :-)

Braw !

fascinating, mini-poetry-malistic piece, agree with redler. wonderful in its own. I wonder what chords are, can you tell? thanks!

Jim you are a master of these minimalistic accoustic/uke songs, fantastic song, the tuning suits tour voice and I loved the chromatic change near the end - great stuff

This is a good one ORH! The alt tuning strum is so full that it carries the song well. The long delay on your vocal gives the impression of a back up singer there with you. Good vocal and lyric!
