another piece on 12-string acoustic.
i wrote this little thing shortly after my youngest son was born, so i kinda dedicated it to him.

This would have sounded great on a six string! Awesome.
RE: the tuning, isn't it an open D or something similar?

thanks you guys, glad you like it !
yeah, the tuning is an open tuning, low-to-high CGCEGC. it may have drifted a little north or south at the time of recording. (the octave / pair strings are tuned straight, no funny stuff. i have messed around with that idea a little bit before, but didn't come up with anything i liked the sound of in the short time i attempted it.)
i've used some variation on this tuning since shortly after i first picked up guitar in my teens... started with DADF#AD and worked my way to this. it's been my main tuning all this time.
