The following songs are non-standard (tunings low-to-high): "bramble"=DGDGBbD, "we feel the beat"=DADFAD, "lovin' life"=DGDGBbD, "saturday morning"=CGCGBbD, and "jumping off"=EGCGBbD capo 6.

eclectic acoustics
Members: Andy Wyatt - vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards, drums, mandolin, ukulele, studio. Guest musicians have included co-conspirators from other projects/bands including: Jon Morse, Tim Odell, Pete Downes, Ayman Mobarak, Paul Tuckey, Tommy Whittle, Pete Bosanko, and Eric Krivitzky Years of Activity: 1978-present Overview: There are cassette tapes by "The Andy Band" dating back to 1979, when Andy was 14 years old, and he is still an avid recording musician. Sometimes The Andy Band is all about "hit record and go" improvisation, other times it's all about one-man-band multi-tracking in the studio. Since 2010, Andy has been playing some of these songs live near his new home in Vermont at open mics. He relishes the thrill of improvising with an audience, as well as singing three-part harmonies and playing bass with players there. But he also loves building up a song with layers and layers of Andys, singing and playing everything.
