------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MINSTREL GIGOLO – Christopher Cross (C Cross) [Christopher Cross (1979)] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: varannion Email: dm_hughes1@hotmail.com Tuning: standard (solo) The guitar solo is performed (in standard tuning) by Eric Johnson. I believe that the song itself (that is, the backing track guitar) is played in open D (D,A,D,F#,A,D) tuning. I'm pretty sure the chords are correct, but have not determined the appropriate chord fingerings for a guitar tuned to open D.
