Dave demos James McMurtry guitar playing: The McTuning
Short how-to video showing guitar tunings and fingerings used by James McMurtry. Hope these help other players learn some JM songs! This video uses what I have been calling “The McTuning”, an open C with strings tuned CGDGBD and a capo on V but omitting the low C string. Here’s my full rendition of St. Mary of the Woods, which uses this tuning: • Dave plays St. Mary of the Woods by James ... Some songs James plays with the McTuning: Where’s Johnny, Saint Mary of the Woods, Painting By Numbers, Peter Pan, Vaquero, Late Norther. Melinda with capo II and 5-string capo VII. Restless with no capos.
