thanks for the comment on olds vid .

i believe a tuba would be a bit extreme, a french horn may work.

Clock, you seem to be a bit of a historian too, or at least regarding blues.   I often enjoy the comments you make to me and to others.   You don't have a ton of photos on your page, but the ones you do have a cool.  And that guitar with the stars.   I think I missed it before.  Got to check it out.

Clock, I laughed my fat old ass off at your comments on the hoarding! 

You need more gits!

Thank you CLOCKWORK for your response. I understand. I am definitely a theory Geek. I am basically just using some fundamental ideas, but in my study it has made me a better player. I simply use it to explore the fingerboard or better understand the things I already know.  

My High School guitar teacher was a trumpet player. He knew music, but could not play guitar. His method of teaching you to tune your guitar, was to take your guitar, spin the tuners around, hand it back to you, give you an E note off the piano once, and say okay, tune it! Give me a break! Worse class I ever had. He made music a bad chore. 

There are so many ways to tune and play CBG. I mainly tend to tune 151 or GDG, DAD...etc. Tuning to a partial or full major chord.

The way you are tuning DGD is another good approach, 141, Key of D, is a very common tuning for renaissance period music and middle eastern styles.  If you look at it another way, 515, Key of G is the bottom half of the full six string Open G tuning ("DGD"gbd).

Enjoy your practice and thanks for sharing, Keni Lee       

Hello Clockwork,

Have you tried a good Belgium beer. Usually does the trick for me. If it doesn't work, try a second one. LOL

So, what made your brain hurt? I would be interested in your input. Enjoy, Keni Lee
