If You Could Read My Mind Love C6NP

Post by Roy Thomson »

Any Gordon Lightfoot fans will recognize this song. One of his biggest hits.
Tuning here is H to L: D--C--Bb--G--E-C#
Leavitt Set Up.
I have it on ClicTab and have about a dozen songs now that I can offer in a song folio for those interested. Check my Webb Site URL below for information on how to contact me.
The Leavitt tuning is beautiful and suitable for many styles of playing. http://freefilehosting.net/?id=pNv9kqXe

Very nice Roy. The tune fits extremely well on the steel and you play it beautifully. Nice guitar work too.

Why do I get about six notes before the little ball reaches the end of the 'track'?. You guys are obviously getting to hear something that I am not.

roy,

for some reason, i could only download the first 30 seconds, probably due to intercontinental cacheing difficulties.

i love your beginning and steel magic, would really love to hear it all. could you please send the complete mp3 file to my e-mail address? i will do the same, as i did record this tune too...though, not as good as yours...

much aloha,

That's incredible. And one of my favorite GL songs, to boot.
