It's hard to beat Richard's version for me. Great song by a talented musician.

This week’s unusual instrument is a circa 1928 National Style 1 Tricone Plectrum Guitar, 26 7/8” scale length, plectrum tuning (CGBD), laminated neck. Excellent player, loud with good tone.

But then again, a mediocre musician can make a great instrument sound mediocre. Ask me how I know... :grin:

I've done a bunch of tunes in GDGD tuning. It's great fun to play all the strings all the time. Here's one of the ones I posted on youtube. Skip Gorman plays a bunch of tunes in alternate tunings on...
