Wow! Approaching information overload - but keep it coming! I didn't particularly appreciate the training wheels remark, but I take it in context, given the later message and yes, Bobert, I'll look at G and E tuning as well 'cause I don't want to limit myself - can you point me to info on them? Now...I do like the sound that I'm getting in this tuning.... I've been learning "Darcy Farrow" with it and love it....JOHN - you mentioned Castles in the Air - I love that one - do you have tab, chords in drop D? And someone mentioned a Seeger tune, I'm a big fan of his as well.... OK.. I'll go back and re-read the posts and try to absorb them... SPAW - good info, as always, thank you... .Justa - I'm on the way to that web site (and still love your do on Bluebell)
