This Charming Man

This is a correction of John's (*) interpretation of
trying to interpret this song (in fact, I had already figured it out 
when I
stumbled onto his), but he should be recognized for submitting an 
interpretation
first.  The D and G strings on both the guitar and bass are tuned a 
quarter step
up for this song.  If you'll listen to the notes on the G string and  
try to match
them on your bass, you'll be able to figure the tuning out pretty 
easily.  Andy
Charming Man" to sound closer to the real thing, try playing with one.
The main thing to remember with this piece is that it has a very light,
 bouncy
feel.  Your fingers should move very lightly on the strings   in order 
to pull
off the multiple grace notes that Rourke employs  throughout.
