Doug, Moontide is now on my set list for my solo gigs (I play a lot of guitar instrumentals and a few lap steel arrangements as well). Moontide with is one of my favorite songs to play!

I have to share this with you. My best friend for 40 years is 100% blind - he can't tell if the lights are on or off. He lives in another state but we still talk on the phone a few times every week. We met at North Texas State where we were both jazz guitar students. This guy has musical ears like you wouldn't believe.

After I'd worked up Moontide I called him using Facetime (which has better audio) and played him the tune. He said it was one of the most beautiful songs he'd ever heard.

BTW, he grew up in Hawaii.

Hi Doug, I’ve been enjoying this tune for awhile now! It’s one of my favorite videos of yours, along with your take on So Rare and Bye Bye Blues!
Anyway, speaking of B11th, I’ve been curious about your B11th demo, the link of which I saved from an old thread that seems to be dead:

Hey Doug, I am a new lap steel player. Been playing about 4 months now after playing Jazz guitar for decades. I have been playing 8 string high C6. Low to high: A C E G A C E G. I LOVE this tune! Would I be able to play it on my 8 string if re tuned to B11? Or possibly figure it out in my current C6 tuning?

Carey, you can retune the middle 6 strings of your 8-string C6 to B11 and play the tablature on the middle 6.

C6

E
C ---> C#
A
G ---> F#
E ---> D#
C ---> B
