This was written for a fan/music bud, Dani Hillyer, who invited me to her high-school-graduation/going-away-to-college party. I decided (just like High School) to give myself the assignment of writing a song and having to turn it in at the party 4 days later. I had also just discovered a new tuning (described below), so I mixed the two together and got this...This video is thanks to Evan Acey of the venue.
"Taylor Tuning" is this: drop the 6th string to D (or "Dropped D"), then you capo every string, EXCEPT the 1st string, on the 7th fret. SO all your Dropped D chords work, and numerous other positions as well. All you pickers, try it out! And if you come up with something good, get in touch!
