What a beautiful tune! Extended Leavitt tuning, 12 string guitar. Some harmonics, some 4 and 5 finger chord clusters, some nice chord melody, moving bass lines, lot's of open strings etc. Hope you guys like it.

Exquisite! I'm glad we have players like you, in this style, to serve as an inspiration to those of us who aspire to play like this. Thank you.....

I have said it before in a previous thread..
you have in my opinion transended the
Leavitt Tuning and the set-up you are using
should be named the "Hatcher Tuning".

It is very unique and wonderful playing
Bill.

Great playing, Bill! There's a lot of chord motion going on there! Nice work.

I can't thank you guys enough for your encouraging words. To know that your fellow players actually take the time to listen to something you present to the forum means quite a lot and gives impetus to try other musical things out.

I looked at the site that has the extended Leavitt tunes on it that I have put on the forum and there are over 4000 downloads of these songs. I hope so much that they have inspired others as they have inspired me to experiment and try something different on the non pedal guitar that we all enjoy so much.

Wow, Bill. Very complex harmonically, and at first I was a little taken aback...but then drawn in and completely enchanted. Great work.

Thank you Bill for taking the time to send it to me, I'm far from an expert I'm not even a good beginner but it sure sounded real good to me. Wink
