SO LONESOME I COULD CRY -- E MAJOR TUNING

Roy Thomson · Post by **Roy Thomson** » 5 Jan 2008 10:04 am

The songs of Ole Hank never die and keep
showing up here, there and everywhere.
I recorded this one today on straight E Major
tuning after working out the chord progression.
..amazing what is possible on this basic tuning

The instrument of choice here is a six string
Yamaha with the raised nut for Hawaiian style.
This would work well also on a E Major Lap
Steel BTW.
My arrangements are all on ClicTab and if
any are interested,,, contact me for information.

That is just beautiful Roy. It's nice to be reminded of how nice plain old straight E major tuning can sound. Very tastefully done!

Thank you.
Same tuning on a familiar tune which
would be a great introduction for
those wishing to persue Thumbstyle playing.
Played at slow tempo ... Fireball Mail.
