This isn't really ready for prime time but what the heck. Here's my Garageband latin version of My Funny Valentine in Jerry Byrd's diatonic tuning (or 90 % of it as this is on a 6-string). I was playing around with some of the cascading licks you can get letting strings ring out as long as possible. Tuning (hi to low): E, C, B, A, G, F

Not only can the boy write, but he can play, too! Nice.

Hey Andy, if I get a chance to talk to Freddie Roulette tonight, I'll tell him "Hi" for you!

very nice Andy!

What a nice way to start out the morning.

I see a CD coming out soon in the near future from my Crystal Glass Bar...

Thanks, Guys. It's just an experiment really cause I haven't woodsheded the tuning or even my own arrangement all that well so the cut is kind of stilted, I think. The diatonic tuning offers a lot of posssibilites but you really need to have your blocking very together - more together than I do.
