12th Street Rag

Just wanted to say that on the tune "12th Street Rag" I found that if you tune your guitar down a whole step and put a capo on the 2nd fret you can get it to sound more like Chet Atkins. The pull-offs are much easier. You don't have to really tune down unless you want to play with the record. Al

I had no idea. I played it for for years with standard tuning. I guess I never tried to play along with the record. I don't want to play it anymore and probably couldn't. Thanks.
