That was a great version, Doug. Haven't heard that song since about elementary school. We were after the music teacher to play some Beatles and instead he came up with Canadian Sunset as something hip and modern.

Thanks Peter. I first heard this song on a Lloyd Green album back in the '70s.

Your post about your music teacher and the Beatles reminds me of my school daze. My 7th grade music teacher in 1964 taught us about this new group from England called the Beatles, played their album for us, and later quizzed us on them. I thought that was pretty cool at the time.

Great job Doug! I love B11 and would love to see some more song arrangements published it that tuning. It seems like the only songs played in B11 are Sand, How do Ya Do,Rainbows Over Paridise,and Mapuana.
I bought you recent C6 book and am looking forward to your next effort.
Most of my playing is in A6 tuning and it only takes a second or two to drop the fifth string down to D# for some nice Hawaiian sounds.

Very Nice Doug!
You make it clear that we should be paying
more attention to the B11 tuning. The voicings
are beautiful!!

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

I too have been looking for more songs for B11. The tuning works well for songs with lots of 7th and 9th chords. The melody and chords of Canadian Sunset lay out very nicely on this tuning, especially the II9 and the IV9 in the verse, with the melody notes on top of each chord.
