Working Man

Please do a cover of working man by Rush. The link above is someone who has done a cover of this (years ago) and it sounds amazing, but not sure of the tuning, the chords, etc.

Love this old song from Chris Cornell. Not sure how well it would translate to the 3-string but I'd sure like to try. 

Theory

  • assumes no prior knowledge
  • relies on you listening and playing throughout
  • understands that this stuff is not hard, that you're not stupid, and if my grade eight class can figure it out then you can too.

Video Community on You Tube

I'm interested in an invite to the video community.  I'm a 70 year old newbe to CBG.  In December of last year I "discovered" them and started building.  I have built 7 so far.  Each one I make I try to make a little different than the last.  I have learned alot.  Some are better than others.  I have one fretted one that is just perfect.  That's the one I practice with and am learning on.  I have discovered that I seem to be rhythm challenged.  I try to do some of the rhythm workshop every day along with the other classes.  Th

Why is G D G b the most common 4 string layout?

Been working through the 3 string slide course, learning a lot and having fun. I currently own a 3 string license plate CBG. However I had a 4 string standard CBG made and should be arriving soon. I am looking forward to starting the 4 string fretted course. The 4 string will be more for chord and fretted playing, where the 3 string is more for blues and slide playing. I was curious on the most common tuning of the 4 string, G D g b.  So in open tuning you have the root, fifth, octave, third (of the octave).  Why is the third placed as the third of the octave?
