Robby,
Maybe someone else that heard this bit about the "C-chord" who happened to see either the Wolf trapp or Glenside,and I think He may have mentioned it at Reading also,not sure on that one,but maybe some else that saw one of these shows can let us know if it indeed was Shadows.
Though I have not taken the time to check out which book I was trying to learn Shadows from,I seem to recall that it was in D,drop D as I remember.Though I love the effect of drop D tuning,I have a very hard time catching the E bass with my thumb on the d-chord.the joint in my thumb starts poppin out,and that takes all the fun out of it,so I just use regular tuning for the drop-d tunes.It works for me.
That is what kinda got me thinking when Gordon mentioned about the C,I thought of my sore thumb when He started doin Shadows.
