Open Bb tuning - What a friend we have in Jesus

(1/3) > >>

Old Man Ned:
Following John's recent tutorial on open tunings I was curious about the open B flat tuning. I've attached an arrangement of, what was for me, an old Sunday school favourite, "What a friend we have in Jesus".

Has anyone else been looking at B flat tuning?

All the Best,
Ned

Johnm:
That's a beautiful job, Ned, well done! I particularly like some of those moving interior lines. Open Bb really makes some interesting things available, doesn't it!
All best,
Johnm

Stuart:
Great arranging and playing, Ned. It made my day.

Old Man Ned:
Thanks John, Stuart, really appreciate you taking the time to listen. I'm finding this tuning really interesting to work with.
All the Best,
Ned

joe paul:
Good work Ned, that's a really sweet arrangement.
I was in class with John that day too and I agree, it's fascinating digging into that tuning and a good challenge getting away from what's familiar.
