Back to acoustic guitar this week. This time I borrowed this open tuning from Chris Whitley, it goes CGCGCD. The fun thing with a new open tuning is that you are in unknown territory and you discover what chord shapes and notes come under your fingers and try to make something with that. I had a blast when I realized I could get this 12-strings-like sound with it. It's difficult to not sound cliché playing a blues form, but I tried to give it a prepared but still improvised vibe. Background recording consists of special guests: the three roosters in the neighborhood, birds and a barking dog, that makes the soundscape over here in the morning.
