Glenn Jones: Portrait of Basho as a Young Dragon

[@TheRamsberg]

This is the best voicing for a guitar piece I've heard.

[@bobanbu]

do you know what the tuning is? cpo at G but assume low e set to D, so capoed at GCG? other strings?

[@TheRamsberg]

Good question, and a good challenge. According to my ear, the three un-capoed strings are F# G# C#. Very curious, looking at the circle of fifths, GCG are are two notes a fifth apart, and the F# G# C# are a trio cluster of fifths, which are the fifths at the opposite side of the circle. Just a semitone off the bass strings. @@bobanbu

Beautiful. Love the echoes of "Cathedral et Fleur de Lis".

does anyone has tabs for this? or any other songs of glenn?

[@hartspunken4830]

I like this version even more than the one on Fleeting.

[@bobgreen623]

I play this kind of thing (not as well as this, of course) on a Guild M-20, a smaller bodied guitar as I find dreadnoughts a little unwieldy, and I can get lost in organising improvisations into tunes for hours. I love playing around with open tunings, drones etc. Mine has a sweeter tone than this, but this big-bodied Guild sounds beautiful.

[@sidneywillis640]

Anyone knows which capo he is using?

[@scottrussell7423]

He makes his own partial capos. I just read about them in an issue of Acoustic Guitar. Let me know if you want details. I think he actually sells them, too.

Sankalpa Bhattarai Yes, but only one tune I’m afraid.

[@rabokarabekian409]

Basho the poet or Robbie Basho who is more the progenitor of the style of this performence than Fahey (who disliked Robbie)?

[@thrasherftw]

I’d assume Robbie Basho, but could certainly be wrong

[@ElectricGypsy]

Dragoon.

[@MakingMoosic]

Anybody know what tuning this is?

[@eno8759]

Open D , capo third . That’s what works for me but i see there’s a partial capo at work , so improvise
