This doesn't need deleting Doug, it needs attention. I think it has the potential to be a wondrous piece of music and to encourage you it gets a fave from me too. I love the lilting sound, it's quite melancholy.

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.

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 drone of bagpipes. The claw hammer sound of a banjo. The stark and haunting sound of a country fiddle. All these effects are possible on the guitar using DADGAD tuning pronounced exactly as it's spelled out. http://www.strummeronline.com/dadgad.html

Trad (Reels) - acoustic guitar - from a tune book. Can't recall the name of the second tune. Backup in DADGAD melody is standard tuning.
