Rachel, you are my hero...
to me, this is a profoundly beautiful tuning...esp the way you play it. Whirling and free..full of spirit. It can translate many emotions we as people may have. For me...something about it takes me back to a far away land where some of my ancestors are from. Ireland...Britian... I have many types of genetics in me..I added them last night. lol just kidding ofcourse. Thanks for sharing.
I can guess what chords you are playing..can you tell us....as the tuning is different. I picked this info up on a web page...

the story behind this is amazing...thanks for sharing. Also have to mention how great you played...that kinda goes without saying. Can feel the passion in this one.
You're just kidding yourself if you thought I could resist the chance to add a bit of percussion to this wonderful song by Osckilo & Launched. I used Paiste Sound Discs to create a 3vs.4 polyrhythm against the delightful underlying 4/4 Spanish…
This is a piece that uses MOTU Ethno 2. All but percussion and voice were performed my Fender Mustang and midi recorded via Roland GR-20. The piece uses the Almak tuning included in Ethno 2. [Amlak recurrent sequence (x^2 = x + 1/3), as a matrix…

Oh, that's really pretty Doug.
I agree with Sister Savage 100%...do not delete. I find it odd how sometimes; a song I think to be awful, many people end up liking.
