Joined: November 2006 Posts: 3969 | I'm learning this song & did a search for vids & came up with this . Anyone know what model this is? You never see the bridge, so I can't tell for sure if it's a nylon string. Related question - every tab I've come across for this song has CGDGBE tuning capoed at the 6th fret, but in all the vids I've come across of Buckingham he's playing capoed at the 3rd fret. Anyone know of or have this latter tab? | ||
