I'm learning to play at long last. It's a slow process but so far I'm on the right track. Right now I'm learning to do something called "walking the board".
I've been meaning to ask, in the original 'Canadian Railroad Trilogy' is Gord playing guitar alone or does he have backup because the reason I want to play is to sound almost identical to the way Gord plays it. 
Gord plays CRT in dropped D tuning, meaning he tunes the 6th string (the thick one) down to a D instead of an E, or an octave lower than the 4th string, which is also a D. Then he puts his capo on the 3rd fret.
Dropped D tuning gives it a nice low bass drone. He uses dropped D in several of his strumming songs. Early Morning Rain is another dropped D song. I think I have a file with chord diagrams, lyrics and chords for EMR. If you want it, e-mail me at
