Hi all,
It's been a little while since we've had any new puzzlers, so for those who are interested, here are a couple. For these ones, we'll just be looking for the playing position/tuning. The first is from Eugene Powell, and it is his "Police in Mississippi Blues", elsewhere called ".44 Blues". Here it is:
What playing position/tuning did Eugene Powell use to play "Police In Mississippi Blues"?
The second song is also by Eugene Powell, and it is his "So Cold In China". Here it is:
What playing position/tuning did Eugene Powell use to play "So Cold In China"?
Please use only your ears and your guitars to arrive at your answers and please don't post any responses before 8:00 AM your time on Tuesday, December 13. Thanks for your participation and I hope that you enjoy the songs.
All best,
Johnm

All best,
