Hi all,
I just got back from jamming with a spirited bouzouki player from Manchester. His name is Mike Tabor and his bouzouki has the most interesting voice. He tunes his Irish bouzouki in CFDA with octave strings. However, the octave stings are reversed. That is, when you pick a downstroke, you hit the treble C before you hit the bass C. Then you hit the treble F before you hit the bass F. His Irish bouzouki has a nice Greek voice.
So now I would like to get my Irish bouzouki to sing in a similar voice, but I can't imagine learning a new tuning. I am just now starting to feel comfortable with GDAE and the last thing I want to do is learn CFDA.
So, bottom line, how do I get that nice Greek CFDA sound while still playing in GDAE?
Is it possible?
Thanks,
Huda
