This arrangement is played in the straight E Major
6 string tuning High to Low: E--B--G#--E--B--E
Not everybody is having a good summer. Extreme heat
is playing havoc with many to whom I wish the very best.
Let us know how your summer is going. It would be nice/interesting to hear firsthand from anyone who wishs to share a summertime story whether good or bad.

| Roy, one of the all time best songs ever from Porgy and Bess. I always call out this song at any guitar jam and everyone always has a great time inprovising over the changes. It is in the mid 90's in southeastern Pennsylvania today and I will be yearning for "Summertime" this coming February. Thanks for sharing your arrangement of a timeless song. |

HELLO ROY,
I Really Enjoyed Your Arrangement Of Summertime.
What Are The String Gauges On Your 6 String Tuning?
What Would Be The Notes & String Gauges On An 8 String E-Major Tuning?
The Temperature in Everett, Wa. Today Is 92.5, But Will Be Down To The Mid 70s In A Few Days.

Thanks to all for the comments!
Roger, my strings are as follows:
E-014..B--017..G#--027--E--30..B--36--E--56
If I were to extend that to an 8 string tuning
I would probably add:
F#..028 for string 4
E--string 5
D...034 for string 6
Moving the B to string 7 and low E to the 8th position. End result is E9th.
Hope that's got it and all the best.
Roy
