Biography:
Rachel Sermanni, 7 November 1991. Is a songwriter from a small village in the Scottish Highlands called Carrbridge. It’s very nice up there.
Sometimes she plays solo and at others she is surrounded by a group of wonderful musicians consisting of Laura Wilkie, Siobhan Anderson and sometimes Louise Bichan (the fiddle pixies), Leo and Declan Forde and pianist Jennifer Austin.
She played the Communion night at Notting Hill Arts Centre in London, having had her track My Friend Fire, recorded and produced by Ben of Mumford and Sons.

Tuning Standard: EADGBe
Capo on 3rd Fret
The whole song is played as a waltz, hitting the root note with your thumb before plucking the
top few strings. Watch this performance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASmAX9trOuU) to
understand the timing, especially with the interlude and bridge section, and when to
emphasize the open e string, which she does sometimes.
