Thread Name: Odetta's Guitar Style
Subject: RE: Odetta's Guitar Style
Interesting that you mention Nick Drake. Both he and Odetta have a fondness for strange tunings. I remember a live album where she plays her haunting version of Sail Away Ladies (Sorry. Can't remember the album title). She talks about liking to play the song, but how hard it is to tune and retune. Love the finger-picking on that one.
