Martin,

I play DQ in B (capo 2, with A-chord fingering), and CRT in F (capo 3 with D-chord fingering, drop-D tuning on 6th string).

And I certainly don't play "lead guitar" per se, just the acoustic "lead" melody lines you find in some of Gord's songs. DQ's is very prominent; IYCRMM (which I play in the key of A, capo 2, G-chord fingering) has a nice one using sixths as well.

Drop-D tuning is almost a must for my solo guitar playing. When I don't have a bass player, it fills in a lot of those bass pedal tones.

Great to hear from you. What other GL songs do you do?
