There has been some discussions in the forum about alternate tunings. I have been practicing this song on an off for quite some time now (about 2 years) and I thought about posting it . Still not perfect by far but it is a very fun song to play. The tuning is officially DADGAD but on the record (Led Zeppelin 1) Jimmy Page lowered all the strings by half a step so the results is C#,G#,C#, F#,G#,C# which I did for the video. This song was origianlly made by Bert Jansch who took it from a traditionnal Irish song.
I would appreciate any comments

Black Mountain Side by Marc, alternate tuning
Marc,
I must admit I had not heard that song before. I liked what I heard when you played it, but was not sure of the "original", I just listened to it on YT and I think you really nailed it.
Great job. You have to love those alternate tunings.

Thanks Dennis, I have always love that song because of the eastern music sound ( a hint of cythare).
