Ooh! I forgot about Black Water being double Drop D tuning, Ted! Great catch!

I don't know that song. Who's George?

I have no idea who George is, but this tune is a solo acoustic steel string song on Ah Via Musicom. (The only acoustic song, IIRC.)

 

The song has a bit of the "tension-building western feel" usually associated with some bluesy slide playing. But this is all fingerpicked, with some neat runs and interesting use of harmonics in a few spots. Also great use of finger picked chords laced with unaccompanied melody lines that seemlessly connect more elaborate sections. A great song from a great album! :thu:

It's easiest to find me on Facebook. Neil Bergman

Eric Johnson, in addition to being a mother of a guitar player, also seems to be a good egg in honoring his fellow fallen guitar brethren. Like the song "Stevie"...which, although unmistakably Eric, contained nods to SRV's style.

 

That info might contain a clue as to who "George" is.
