Time signature: 6/8
CAPO: 2nd fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of E)
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:
DROPPED TUNING: E-A-D-G-B-d
De-tune 1st string down to D
This creates a nice Celtic drone along with the sustained A bass note
You could also detune the 6th string down to D, just in case you
hit that string, but using the open 5th string for the bass drone
sounds much better.
