|
Edited on Tue Dec-26-06 10:47 PM by Trajan
I wish I could post the video here, like in the Political Video forum, but I don't think it is possible .... so check this fella out .. He is amazing .... Andy McKee plays 'Drifting', his own composition, and in his own unique style .... |

this is the tuning preferred by people who play like this, stanley jordan, e.g.
many of these types like playing a chapman stick instead of a standard guitar.

| 5. I think the three lowest strings ... |
|
form a 1-5-8 in open strum, because he was laying across all three bass strings and getting a strong consonance .. kinda like a D tuning .. but perhaps modified in the treble strings as well ...

| 4. Its hard to tell exactly WHAT tuning ... |
|
But I think I noticed a strong chordal tuning when he played open strings ...
I have NEVER tried to play with my left hand over the fretboard like that .... I use my extended thumb at times, but never crossed over like that ....

| 9. When I first saw Havens in Woodstock ... |
|
I thought he as just being lazy, and didnt want to finger stop the chords ...
I eventually recognized he wanted the volume and power, which he got from that style ...
