Peter Midchuck: you're welcome to the line. The price is one pint, which entitles you to ten uses. After that a small top-up fee needs to be negotiated.

With a nod to another thread regarding tuning...

You're not a guitar picker unless you can tune the thing!

Peace, Mooh.

And when you get really good, you hire someone to tune it for you while you tank up backstage. ;)

On request, I'll do Freebird. My cover version is just that diddle-diddle diddle-diddle lick over and over and over while I sing Lord help me I can't change....

If someone were to turn Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse" into a solo guitar piece, that someone would be THE guitar picker. "Powerhouse" is that insane jazz piece from the thirties that end up in about a zillion cartoons. Give it a try.
Until that time, I have to vote for "Freight Train" transpositions. As I once heard a local picker lambaste his duet partner onstage, "There's a right way to play it wrong, then there's the wrong way to play it wrong!"

Angie yes I agree. Spent many an hour getting there.

How about Alice's Restaurant from the other side of the Atlantic, or, now this is some time back, and hardly folk but still a proving tune - Tales of the Riverbank - only Brits will understand that I suspect
