Tears of a Clown on Punch 3 String CBG

Great old Smokey Robinson song that I thought was right for the Punch 3 string (thanks Unc) since he and his dog are portrayed as clowns/jesters on the box. I had been lo...

This is wonderful Jim!

Thanks Unc and Ted too! It's kind of fun to figure out how to play songs like this that at first don't seem like 3 string material. I'm trying to work up While My Guitar Gently Weeps but it's putting a hurtin' on my brain!

Back for another listen.   Ted and I went to a good jam last night and he was talking about how amazing it  was how you did this and achieved this sound on a 3 string.   Yup.

Excellent Jim!!!!!!!!!! Meeowwwwwww^..^

There are some cool possibilities beyond bar chords. These are the A,D,and g strings from a set of Ernie Ball electric mediums. I think the g was .017 I'd usually use GDg tuning with these but it's tuned down to FCf, maybe a little lower. With these type strings I can retune from E up to about A or Bb and the string tension is ok but so far I've stayed with 151 tuning regardless of key. Gotta experiment with some different ones.
