M'Grath of Altcar Chord Req: Martin Carthy Chords/Tabs?? (44) RE: Chord Req: Martin Carthy Chords/Tabs?? 10 Sep 04


Don't know where you'll get the tabs.

But try tuning your guitar to

instead of tuning your guitar to

E A D G B E

try...

D A D E A E

I know it works for Palaces of Gold and King Willie.

Try experimenting with a few tunes - it certainly gives the right kind of sound.

He plays very hard and loud. You'll probably need fingernails to get the sound. He frequently uses a muting technique to cut notes or chords short. I could show you this but your not here! He uses drone type harmonies a lot too.

I think this is one of the tunings he uses most often and if it isn't someone will come along and correct me!

I'll have a pint of guinness please.
