I have learned a few songs in Drop D. You can play "Can't Find My Way Home" in either standard or drop D. He uses Drop D in that new video but it sounds fine in standard tuning too. He's playing other chords and moving the bass notes up to take the alt tuning in the low E string into account. It sounds complicated but it's not once you understand it.

It makes playing in the key of D sound really cool. I know a couple of other songs in Drop D, "Dear Prudence" by the Beatles, and a song I learned at Fur Peace, Roy Book Binder's "Another Man Done a Full Go Round" a really great song that's incredibly fun to play. Also, Jorma Kaukonen's great instrumental "Embryonic Journey" is in Drop D. JIC you don't know it,


Drop D is worth playing around with, it's a pretty cool deal, I plan on further explorations with it. Really easy to get to, also, just one string retuning, the low E.

The drop D tuning has really caught my attention - still haven't figured it out -
just me! a little slow!!!

I did look for more - and found a a full-band version with the original author of
'Can't Find My Way Home' - Steve Winwood - but he's singing with the all-time great Eric Clapton
A great version!! -

A great version of Wildwood Flower by Alabama on youtube.

This was an impromptu performance at Barnes and Noble in NYC two weeks ago. He is one the great 20th Century songwriters (and performers). And 21st Century too!! Wish I could find this at the local B&N.

Handels' Messiah sung in a Food Court!!!

This has nothing to do with Bluegrass -but is a great Xmas story and will surely put you in the Xmas spirit.!!
This takes place during lunchtime in a food court in Welland, Ontario, Canada -
about 50(?) singers from a local choral group are scattered throughout a food court during lunch hour - and stand up one-by-one - & begin belting out the "Hallelujah Chorus" of Handel's Messiah to the amazement of the diners in the crowd. Just check out the Youtube video and watch the faces & reaction in the crowd. Pretty amazing!!!

Another brilliant performance by Paul Simon covering a Brian Wilson song. Incredible.
