Del says it's an "open C" tuning in the intro. Looks like the producer ran with it and included it in on the back cover notes. Elderly took the info from that. But it's definitely Am7 (or C6 if you prefer:) The DVD reveals very few edits. Just Del talking on camera. When she plays, the screen shows both her neckwork and finger picking (picture in picture style). <BR/><BR/>It's a great DVD for me, who have played for years with no formal training. I've figured some of the blues techniques out myself but Del expands on it greatly. Definitely worth the investment. <BR/><BR/>And her uke is absolutely beautiful! Even her strings are multi-colored!<BR/><BR/>-AlanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3024701.post-53989913428173434112007-11-21T17:28:00.000-08:002007-11-21T17:28:00.000-08:00I say credit the folks at Homespun who produced he...I say credit the folks at Homespun who produced her DVD.
