To anyone who subscribes to Fingerstyle Guitar: issue #6 has a nice Piece by Ed Gerhard, "The Handing Down". However, you may have a Difficult time playing this piece as written. It seems they neglected to Mention the tuning! It is EADEAE.

After trying the tab, which didn't seem right, I tried the standard Notation and found that the two didn't match. Sent them a postcard and They somehow tracked down my office phone # and told me the problem! Kudos For their efforts at calming down a ranting subscriber!

Thanks for the info, Jon. I noticed that the TAB/Notation didn't match and found no tuning reference in the preceding text.

I thought that just the TAB was screwed up and assumed standard tuning. I read through the first few lines of the notation this morning and found that the tune is playable (so far) in EADGBE.

P.S. Nice live take of Renbourn's Little Niles, eh?
