Thanks Kirk, that's very encouraging, expecially coming direct from you.

I have been listening to the original recordings of this song by McLean and was wondering if anyone knows if he used standard tuning to play this? He seems to reach some really low notes or is that just his guitar making that? I think I read somewhere he used an old Martin for making it.

thanks,
