I first heard this song as a vocal
and the break in the middle was done
on a standard guitar .. slack key.

I liked it so much that I recorded this
arrangement on a six string National
Dynamic. The back up guitar is my playing
also and I dropped the last string to "D".

If anyone has information on this song
I would be interested in your posting.

Thanks Derrick.
About three years ago I asked the same
question and got the answer but lost
it after three computer crashes.
So my appreciation to you. Very Happy

Roy

That guitar has a such a beautiful tone, but we all know it's really coming from behind those picks ! Sure sounds nice Roy. Mahalo.
