[Gb] The third one is called shady Grove
[Abm] Which some people tune this B [G] string up a half step for?
creates that beautiful modal tuning and
And then [Gm] I'm gonna drop this C note, [Ab] I mean that's sorry [Eb] the low
[G] D string down to C and I'm gonna play two more song
Soldiers joy and you are my sunshine.
These are all pretty standard tunes
Okay
If you look at the other claw hammer video on this site, you'll see
Doing the only thing I'm doing is different is what's called a drop thumb or double thumbing where I'm taking my
Usual [Ab] claw hammer [G]
