Kashmir
So I've been toying with the idea for a few weeks now of trying to replicate on my mandolin what for me is the ultimate guitar riff.
Jimmy Page tuned his guitar DADGAD when he played Kashmir, and it occurred to me some time back that that is not very different from sawmill. Then it occurred to me that playing notes on the top strings would remove any need for sawmill, and so I had a go in classical tuning.
I tried playing 0,0,12,10 - but I believe JP switches chords by taking a G down to an Fsharp, so I need an Fsharp there. Then I tried 12,0,12,10 and took the 12 on the G strings down to 11 for the next chord.
It sounds nothing like Kashmir. Oh well - we live and learn.
In the second movement, not too heavy on the banjos. Eric Morecambe
