Quote from: SteveG on August 23, 2009, 06:13:32 PMSo why cant I do that? What is the secret?

You can!!! The secret is open C(no 3rd) tuning, that is, from the low "E"-string:

Superb.

Well I actually would like to NOT see so much of that "gold". would be better to save it for later. Better for all of us!

I noticed that too, after recording it, or it could be fome folk influence (if you look at the thread "what are you listening to now" you'll see Ive listened to some Annbjørg Lien, a Norwegian "hardingfele" player. The hardingfele, is a Norwegian fiddle with four resonance-strings under the ordinary strings that give it the unique sound)

I'm really grateful so many liked this!!

peace my friends ....... keep making good music!!!!

Yeah, guessed it was an open tuning. Have messed with open G and D a bit for slide, but not really for strumming / picking stuff. Seen folk players doing things that I would find very hard in standard tuning with ease using open tho ... something else I must get around to learning!
