RE: Guitar cover of 'Always with me, Always with you' - Joe Satriani.

Well played. There are some tricky bits in there. I would struggle with the tapping for a start, although it looks easier than some pieces. Was it in standard tuning? I some video lessons with Joe and it was frustrating that he was tuned a half step down, so everyone else has to tune to him.

No, it's just in standard tuning. Not as much of an issue now that we have programs to transpose on the fly, but I remember going back 20 years with only one guitar swearing at SRV, Van Halen, Green Day... etc. for tuning down.

The tapping isn't too bad. Right hand just stays on the 12th and left moves around. Transitioning into and out of the tapping was a pain.

I did notice the subtle edit there. A lot of people seem to tune down. I guess I could keep one guitar in that state for playing along. I'm not really into alternative tunings apart from drop D on some stuff. I did try playing along with one song that used drop B!
