It sounds fantastic Per, bravo! Another fantastic original composition. If I could venture a question - it sounds like the beginning of the song is from a different song, it's a little darker than the rest of the song, which is sweet!

Yeah, +1 Randy. Lots of great advice here. The tuning discussion might be more worthwhile after you have tried out a tuning. This will give you some depth of understanding on how it feels / sounds.
