Thank you hoss01. I already found out the hard way. The trick is to tune both E strings to G. Really fun to play.

Re: where is everybody from? (242 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I'm from Reykjavik, Iceland. 36 yrs old, been playing for about 5 years. Actually I have been singing professionally with my two buddies in a small jam band for some years, but I always felt I needed to learn the guitar so I could write songs - and maybe perform on my own some day! The trouble is finding time, though. Too much work and the kids are still young and demanding..

Re: Fingerpicking songs - intermediate level (9 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Thank you all so much for your help. Currently I'm working on Dust in the Wind, mainly to get a good grip on the Travis picking, but it's a great song as well. Btw - do you know more songs that use this technique (I know about Landslide and Blowing in the wind)?
I love artists like Alison Krauss/Union station (have been scratching my head over "Jacob's dream", can't get my fingers around it (probably not intermediate level!!)), Eva Cassidy, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan. I look so forward to studying them and more.

Topic: Fingerpicking songs - intermediate level (9 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Hi,
I'm having a hard time finding fingerpicking songs to practice that are not too hard and not entry level either. Most books e.g. I've come across are either for beginners or advanced players. I want to practice some easy and simple licks to accompany the chord picking. Any suggestions or links (I know "intermediate" is a wide spectrum..)?

Thank you, Roger
Yes, it's a great song. I found a video on youtube by a girl from the UK (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdFpPjiy3xc). She seems to be pretty close, but she's using some different tuning, it seems to me. I still think there are more than one guitars in the original song..
Best regards,
Julius

Hi! Does anyone recognize this fabulous song? It seems to me it is played by two guitars (in part), but my friends disagree. Anyway, I can't get my fingers around it - does anyone have the chords/tabs for this one??? I'm really desperate!
