That second part was before its time!

Very nice! Love the B part.

The end of the B always makes me think of Dave Brubeck for some reason. Gotta love those minor tunes!

Andy, I have heard the tune before but hearing your video made me want to learn it.

I think I have it down to some degree but can you of give me the four descending chords that you use to finish the tune?  I have Cm, Bbm, Am, and Gm, but I'm not sure they feel/sound right.

Comment by Al Smitley on March 2, 2012 at 7:56am

On second thought, perhaps they are Cm, Gm, G7, Gm (????)

I really need to learn to take more time/care before responding.  I confusing myself with modern-day tuning.   I'm guessing it's Cm, Gm, D7, Gm, with the second Gm using the open 4th string instead of fretted on the 3rd fret.

I'm not sure what the chords work out to, but it basically walks down, alternating between the 4th and 1st strings:


1|----6---5---3---1-
2|------------------
3|------------------
4|--5---3---2---0---
5|------------------


So in "Briggs" dGDF#A tuning (which is what I used in the clip) the descending notes on the 4th string would be C, A#, A, G and on the 1st they're D#, D, C, A#. I think.
