All right – I know I haven’t finished the last one yet (Horse Latitudes), but I am reading Keith Richard’s book ‘Life’ and he talks about open D tuning. Wow!!! It makes a lot of songs (Rolling Stones, Steve Miller, etc) a lot easier.

I love the semi dissonances..one chord sounds just like ‘It’s Getting Better’ – the Beatles probably used open D for that…maybe.

Anyway, Keith’s book is surprisingly good – if you haven’t read it yet you should pick it up if that sort of thing interests you.

Here’s my studio setup, getting ready to record.
