Ladies and gentlemen,
"They" laughed in my face when I told 'em I planned on arranging How Dya Do for C6 high tuning (you know who you are  )
So, I offer a demo mp3 of How Dya Do played/transcribed for the first time in history in C6 high tuning instead of the typical B11.
A couple of benefits to playing it in the C6 high tuning:
1) no need to change tuning or have multiple necks
2) F#m7 chord more fully realized / lushness (I made the first appearance of this chord stand out with delay)
Drawbacks:
1) need to play with lots of open strings in the Am7 section (you'll hear my strings slap a bit as the steel rides up over the nut)
If there's enough interest--I'm planning a video lesson on how to play the song this way.
If there's not enough interest, no worries, I will simply enjoy the piece much more since I won't need to retune--this particular project has been a personal goal for many months.
Hope you enjoy the clip, with much Aloha,
Josh

Congratulations Josh!
That captures the B11th sound
very well IMO.
You know what you're doing so

Josh,
I enjoyed the clip and you did fine, but now I want you to work on your harmonics on How D'ya Do. OK?
Aloha,
Don |
