Treetop Flyer - a Demo by Peter Trappen

My version of this great tune: "Treetop Flyer" by Steven Stills. I've had many requests for this one over the years. Stills has claimed this is his "Heart of Gold" song because it has "legs" and is played the world 'round more than any of his other tunes. Neil Young had a massive hit with Heart of Gold.

This version is played on my Guild Westerly 2512E 12 String guitar which is made in China but after watching many review videos, I took a chance and it has turned out to be a great guitar. A jumbo build which has massive tone. The craftsmanship is quality work, the wood grain straight and bindings are well done.

I have it tuned down a whole step in order to lower the stress on the neck, with a Capo on the 2nd fret to bring it up to normal tuning. For this song, the lower E string is tuned down to D. (Dropped D tuning)
