Another big vote for Black Queen. One of the all-time great acoustic blues. Double Drop D, tuned down a half step. Sounds so rich and bass-ie!

Loving your lessons and can finally play 4+20. Is there any chance, pretty please please… of doing Black Queen and Sleeping With Snakes by Stephen Stills. Black Queen is a double drop D I believe. Would so love to learn these songs please please please xxxx
Fi says
Sorry that’s Dreaming of Snakes. It’s on Just Roll Tape, a collection of Stills’ demos. :)

Just wow. Thanks so much for this: I have learned how to Travis pick in a month (and still learning). That bouncy thumb is still giving me probs so I’ve just been using my index finger to play the higher note. Anyhoo, thanks for getting me interested in guitar again. I owe you one.

I am interested in the 4 & 20 songsheet tuned to DADDAD. Exactly like the above example. (The musical score directly below the above training video.)
How can I get that one? I DO NOT want the one tuned to EEEEBE!!!
Thanks,
Randy

Hi Jerry,
Does the songsheet for 4 & 20 have the DADDAD tuning with capo on 1st fret??? There are two different examples above. One shows Tuning: EEEEBE… Which one comes with the order???
Thanks,
Randy
