Not only that but he has a great touch in slow pieces too. I've vowed to learn The Rose

He's incredible. I've been working on a few of his tunes for a while(I'll probably be working on them through my next incarnation). His website is cool, has a lot of free stuff, and the pay for stuff is reasonable. He's also very accessible, and will quickly reply to emails for info/help.

I love that song and arrangement. This may be my first true venture into open tuning.

Thanx dweez!

It's cool cos I only know one tune in Open G so this is a nice excuse to use it. These days I seem to hang out mostly in DADGAD and DADGF#D.

I've now transcribed The Rose into Guitar Pro ;)

I did promise myself not to learn anything new until I have the album done but this is so nice I have to do it. Plus Working On The New Rail Road is the other open G tune and that has to be polished for the album so that works out pretty well.

Hey Dweez -- you should check out his arrangement of "Forever Young"! Also in open G. Very, very sweet tune!
