Enjoyed your article in Living Tradition Nick. As a humble guitar player I feel reassured.

I remember seeing a guitar player, who's name may return to me in a while, he played a guitar piece written and performed by the guitar player out of the Prog Rock Band Yes. It was truly astonishing. He did everything physically, musically and emotionally that it was possible to play on a guitar. A few years later I saw him again. He was acompanying a famous Irish Harp player. He chatted between songs and tunes and explained that once having seen a famous singer appear on stage with 4 Martin guitars - all in different tunings - he decided things should be simpler. So he went back to standard tuning and playing where ever possible in C.

Thanks again
