So its raining cats and dogs here, time to restring my Maton 1979 - 12 string.
So good to play after a good many years.
Feeling a bit melancholy with all this inclement weather so I decided to two of my all time favorites to lift the slump. Zeppelins' Rainsong' and 'Friends' abridged versions of both.
Something a bit different for a student focus .
The Sky Is Crying, Craig, that was just beautifully played.
Some real finger gymnastics going on and you did that so gracefully. Mannnny Thanks for posting.
Thanks everyone.
'Splain a little about that tuning for the members, Craig. Love the open strings, especially on the 12 ringing.
That soundboard looks a bit like Willie Nelson's acoustic Trigger with the hole in the front.

Excellent question Clayton.

Master Jimmy Pages' own invention.
From low to high as follows :
D G C G C D.
Basically it's open C with the low and high strings tuned to D. How he came up with it is a mystery.
Here is the TAB version I use. 🎼🎵🎶😀
Seems an easy tuning and a very close relative of open G. Well, the humidity is rising here with spring coming early so it's time to break out the acoustic!
Wow, really well done! Not much that can be improved there!
Thanks Robert/Clayton, I read recently that a typical musicians day is 15 minutes of ecstatic performance and 12 hours of nagging doubt! it really helps when more experienced musos take the time to give reflection and encouragement. 😀
Dear Craig,
Just a few hours before taking my flight back home I have the chance to listen your music. It sounds so good. I love it, and very impressive how you play and how it sounds this guitar.
Congratulations and greetings from Sao Paolo......In a few hours I will change the warm sun of Brazil by a atipycally snowed Barcelona.
