Mad World by reiver
Chris - yes, I'm familiar with this version - I'm pretty sure that it's this that the arrangement is based on. Glad to have introduced you to the world of in tune guitars!
Tony - Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
Vanessa - I'm glad you agree with me.........we can both look towards Chris with a knowing look and roll our eyes at him. Tab should be with you now.
BobR - sorry to hear about your work problem!........ but glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the support.
Jay - Thank you - yes, more may be on the way soon.

Hi reiver
Surprising how just two taps on your strings (at 1:26 and 1:30) can add tension and set up the last act of the drama. Damn well done.
Funny, I associate the original of this tune as being a signal to head out for the dance floor in a crowded club. It's great to have a whole freshly-emptied dance floor to yourself and maybe a few like-minded. This version is still highly danceable ... could you add me to the tab list?

Ha! I've been in tune ever since I got an I-Phone.... er this summer...Chris - yes, I'm familiar with this version - I'm pretty sure that it's this that the arrangement is based on. Glad to have introduced you to the world of in tune guitars!
Pierre - it's not the first time I've emptied the dance floor... ....but I'm relieved that you enjoyed it all the same! Thanks for kind words. Glad you enjoyed the arrangement too - of course I can send you the Tab, just PM me with your e-mail address (specify pdf or gpx) and I'll get that to you right away.

Hey Stuart,
I listened to this a few more times, and I like it better each time. Good job, my man.
Your comment about the capo sent me off yesterday to do some field research on the effect of a capo on tuning, and my conclusion is simply this: yep, you're right, the tuned guitar is out of tune the moment a capo is clamped on. Any guitar. Any position. Any string gauge. Any scale length. Any tuning. Any...., well, you get the idea. And, yes, it gets worse as you go further up the neck (for the same reason the distance between frets decreases). It's physics, and there is no way to change it - except by re-tuning after the capo is clamped on.
That was an interesting study. Probably worthless because everyone already knows a guitar plays out of tune up the neck, but interesting nonetheless because now I know by how many Hertz it will be out.

I did retune after capoing - but then you still have the problem when you fret a string 4 or 5 frets from the capo which takes you up to the 9th or 10th fret and my poor little guitar struggled a little, I think.
You may be interested in this web site.........looks like they're trying to resolve the problem in an interesting way.
