Hi Dennis sorry for the late reply. I have been a Moody blues fan since the 70's . I always loved that song. I have seen you play during the camp and when you say with warts and all, I know it will sound perfect you are a damn good player. That tuning and the effect make your guitar sounds so rich and professional.You've got to admire a guy who's as passionate about a band as Chris is with the Moody Blues. It's been really enjoyable over the past few years watching Chris's uploads of his Moodies videos, not to mention reading his interpretations of their lyrics. It's all been good fun.
So I thought I'd say thanks to Chris for his many contributions to TG by recording a Moody Blues song for him. Never Comes the Day is one of those songs I used to hear back in the early '70s whose beauty just made me shake my head at how a band could produce such sounds. It's also one of those songs that almost never gets any airplay on the radio. I came across it accidentally on YouTube while searching for something else, and watching the Moodies perform it took me back to another time in my life, the details of which I'll spare you.
The tuning is unusual: it's a modified open-G, except that the low E string is left untouched. Therefore, the tuning (from low to high) is E-G-D-G-B-D. Then I dropped the whole thing down 2 steps to accommodate my voice.
This song fits in with the Rhythm thread, because I don't really play it the same way twice, just sort of going where my fingers take me, including into dark corners I tend to regret. But here it is, warts and all.
PLEASE NOTE: If video was recently uploaded it will not work yet. YouTube will need a little more time to get the video ready. Please check back again soon.
