An update on the Robert Johnson book I posted earlier on this thread. Excellent version of Johnson's songs, note by note, tabs & lyrics. About half his songs are in open tune & I find I can pull out little excerpts to make up my own songs & use some of his lyrics. Lots of fun, worth every penny!

Tune your 4 string to open A ( A c# e A )
Play the open strings as follows
E , C# , Low A , C# , E high A
Then the C# on the 4th Fret high A string then the B second
Fret high A string then the high A string open
Then the open C# open string then the Eb on the
C# second fret then the E third fret on the C# string
Hopefully I can tab this out at some point
Once you get round how cool the open A tuning is
You can introduce the chord progression alternating
Between the melody notes , the cool thing about
The open A tuning is you can pluck the base A string and
The octave A is the high fourth string
You can slide and pick up the melody with
Single note passes and also slide a chord in
For example finish the melody line on an A chord by hitting all the
Open strings
You can pretty much work it out from
There
Cheers

Shane's a great guy, but he forgets some of us are totally tune deaf. Here's Tabs for the first few bars. I play them on the high G string with a GDG tuning: 7th Fret - 4th Fret - 0pen G - 4th Fret - 7th Fret - 12th - 16th- 14th - 12th at least it sounds pretty good to me. Maybe somebody else can add to it.

Also if you hook up to an Amp, crank it up and put vibrato on the opening 7 th fret it kinda sounds like Jimi Hendricks @ Woodstock. Well kinda of.
