Do any of you players , play this song at gigs?
I would love to learn this one.It doesnt seem to be to complicated but it sounds like it is tuned down.
Anyone got any tips on this one?
This is a great rendition of it. GWB

There's a 'how to play' vid in the youtube menu while this song is playing. Click on that and you'll get several more. It is an odd tuning.

Very nice rendition, btw.

I used t'do it many moons ago with my old partner.
It IS in an odd tuning (a lot of Crosby's stuff is).
I've got it written-out somewhere.
When I get a chance, I'll see if I can locate it . . .

That guitar has more bling on it than Mr. T has around his neck.

I don't know that I've seen abalone trim on the sides like that before.

I heard Crosby really wanted to use an O, but couldn't reach around the bowl. (Look at about 3:18)

He's somehow channeled the excess lbs through the internet to my house. 4 weeks on crutches with no physical actvity to speak of and a thanksgiving thrown in the middle has not been kind to me. Did I mention that we bought one of those new krups icecream makers? Crap ...
