A beautiful arrangement in DADGAD tuning. I think the capo did him in. Always remember to re-check the tuning after adding the capo.

Bill ,,what a nice tune,,, was hi out of tune?..where is the song from??

Willem,
It is 'My heart Will Go On' by Celine Dion

Nice post -- and a good issue to raise. I often find, especially with alternate and open tunings, that the capo will sharpen at least the 1st and 6th strings above what you'd hear when fingering at the same fret.

Nice arrangement, nicely played.

Yeah that's typical with using a capo Bill. I guess you do hear it Kenny, but it takes so much fiddling around to tune it exactly right with the capo on. I just get on and play as long as it's not too bad (fiddling with 12 strings with a capo on is a pain!).

Er KennyF, do you have a screw loose ... or is that a bolt?

He has it tuned DADGAD and he slides the capo so you know its going to have some effect on it.

I felt sorry for the poor guy. He played the song so well, but that slight mis-tuning ruined his performance.

Oh, and Willem, as Andy said, that is Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" from the movie "Titanic".

It's a bolt. I'm still pondering everything beyond that.

I think (pondering) its a transistor...
