I'm not entirely sure that it's in an alternate tuning.. it just sounds like it. If anyone has the correct tab/tuning for this track please let me know. thanks in advance. Jeff |

Use a pick to create his rhythm style. Harry Robertson wrote and recorded the song and did not receive proper credit on the LP Penguin Eggs. Still, Nic's version is exciting and well executed. |

I would live to find more tabs for his work - the more I listen to Nic, the more I hear his influence on the 'British School' of players that have come along since. Wonderfully percusive playing... Cheers - David |
