Ackerman Tuning Challenge Song #1 - Whippoorwill

[Picking Moose]

Great composition and great playing, as always.
I much enjoyed this and now feel like giving that tuning a try.
Thank you very much.

This is giving me a bit of trouble . Lol firstly I don’t want it to be overly lame and it’s kind of lame . Secondly trying to work it into one transition is proving to be a pain . Lol
I’ll watch some more vids and try to digest some of the chord patterns maybe one will help me out . [emoji4]

as far as chords, keep in mind that it's the same notes as standard (just missing the A), with the B and D doubled. So for for example, if you want a plain old C, you could finger it like standard: x3201x, but compensate for the raised 5th string, becoming: x1201x, or a Cadd9: x12010. Most chords are pretty easy to figure out if you take this approach.
