Hi--
Here's a demo of an old George Harrison song, played on the Marine Band 365 that has been retuned to FourKey, an interesting tuning that is mostly chromatic, only B and E need be draw bent to get all twelve notes.

It certainly is a tune for our times.

Thanks man!
I’m probably going to use this tuning (briefly) at a show I’m doing next Wednesday—just harps and vocals thru some electronics (Line 6 DL4, TC Electronics VoiceLive Touch and a Boomerang III for looping).
I’m a much better guitarist than harp player, but hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Oh. I think spam net probably just captured my post.
Maybe it will turn up again.
Anyway, I think that’s a great song. I’m very familiar with it. Was never a fan of the production on that record but also, my copy was so worn out by the time I moved out of vinyl that it was hard to hear.
The line I really don’t understand though, is very early in the song.
“Beware of falling swingers dropping all around you”.
I have not managed to be on my guard against this, largely because I don’t know what it means. It just doesn’t seem to present much likelihood of ever happening in my limited view of the world.
Now, drop bears, that’s a different proposition and one you should seriously be aware of if you’re ever in an Australian native forest. Falling swingers, not such a problem here.
