I have always loved Sentimental Lady and I figured it might be time to add a lesson on to the TG Library. I used to play it instrumentally frequently, without ever even checking on what key it was in. I explored thoughts about that at the top of today\u2019s Update. By the end I was messing with Albatross having hit on the idea of retuning one string to get the bass line just right.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s tip followed in those footsteps, and I want to encourage everybody out there to not be afraid of trying some alternate tunings. Many of them just have one or two strings changed, which is not much more difficult than just tuning up in standard like you should many times a day. A point in fact I mentioned quickly was even using a banjo tuning by dropping the high E to D and just using the top four strings. This is how one of my students will be approaching Hard Times by Gillian Welch.<\/p>\n<p>We got one new lesson out this week \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/totallyguitars.com\/lessons\/2860-im-an-old-cowhand-from-the-rio-grande\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">I\u2019m An Old Cowhand (From The Rio Grande)<\/a>, a novelty tune done by lots of singing cowboys and Bing Crosby-type crooners.
