Requiem For A Summer Rain - instrumental
Well, I was horsing around and took out the old Ibanez and tuned it for a little Nashville Tuning. For those that are not familiar with Nashville Tuning, it's a trick used for acoustic guitar. Take the octave strings from a set of 12 strings and string up your six string. It's a trick used to make your 6 sting sound like a 12 strings. If you have an extra acoustic doing nothing, get a $3.00 set of Light Gauge 6 & 12's strings. Use the normal high E & B string from the 6 pack and put them in their normal position. Then take the unwound strings from the 12 pack and finish up. The low E will be using a wound string from the 12 pack. Here's the sizes you need, High E to Lo E:
E 10
B 14
G 9 (or 10)
D 12
A 18
E 27 (or 30)(wound)
In this Requiem For A Summer Rain, the Nashville Tuned guitar is dead center. (I didn;t really mess with the mix, so you'll probably hear a thump or two.

Enjoy. And be sure to try out that setup on an extra ax.

I too have tried frailing but it sounded more like flailing if you know what I mean. I'd like to get back to it and give it another chance, just to have a little variety of style when I spend time on the guitar.

Great sound LC, I agree with pamelody that it has a dulcimer like quality to it. Just lovely!

Hey LC, this is wonderful stuff.
I'm pretty much a newbie and didn't really know anything about Nashville tuning but with your sweet picking and Jedi-like recording techniques a super-mellow sound results. Beautiful.

Beautiful. I can't tell you how much I would luuurve to be able to play like that, even if it took a whole year for one single 'take' - and you " just sorta started picking and that's where it went. It wasn't planned"! Unbelievable. I'm so jealous (in a nice way  ).
I guess I'll just keep plugging away and dreaming. Well done

Well done Les... those fingers are moving nicely on this one. I can't get mine to cooperate and work together in concert. Seems once they get going I have a mutiny on my hands!

Excellent job all around- lovely progression, great choice on using the Nashville tuning, and thanks for the little recording tip. Well done.
Any chance of putting together a mini-lesson on this one?

I knew it - CanuckTodd has my fingers.
Maybe you'll give 'em back once you've broken them in 
Once again - congratulations LC

LC-
Very nice... Great Tip on the Nashville Tuning! Hard to play strings that slinky! Did you have to readjust the neck on that guitar? I would imagine that the change in tension to the much lighter strings would cause that neck to pull back some. I'll have to try it though!
