Notice

"Since I wasn't that good a fiddler, I thought I'd like to play it on the guitar." - Nic Jones I'm pretty sure this is the correct tuning (C modal) though I learned it by ear from the CD. The most important thing is to get the right rhythm, and sound from the bass strings; use heavy down-strokes with a thumb-pick and permanent palm muting (a la Martin Carthy) - when the higher strings are picked open, always try to let them ring. Apparently Jones & Carthy play really hard with heavy strings, but playing normally with light strings (and in this case tuned down to C) can produce the same effect. Any comments appreciated!
