I think he's in Standard D (DGCFAD) with the capo on the 5th fret. It's sharp, though, and with a little rough calibration on my chromatic tuner 446-448hz for A seems to do the trick. Tricky to be sure.
i had the privilege of actually with this guy last year in a bar in my home town and it was one of the best experiences of my life to be sat next to the man himself singing sat next to me while i played guitar for him... we played dream catch me and uncomfortably slow. his voice blew me away... :) hope he remembers a Tom Cary from truro lol. x
I learned this one by ear from this vid. and Im 99,99% sure he's playing in D standard (DGCFAD) with Capo on the 5th fret. which means you can play it in Standard tuning (EADGBE) with capo on the 3rd fret. Most of Newtons stuff is played in DGDGAD but sometimes he plays them a half step tuned up. Like in "To the light" and "I need something".. so there you go (Y)
@Haladir1989 It's usually played in standard (I play it too), but that's not in standard tuning. This version's definitely an open tuning, and open D minor sounds like a good shout, but I don't know what it is here.
@tomcarr666 sry but i learn it from the original Tabs and this is in Standart tuning (sry for my bad english) but I need something another songs from Newton Faulkner are mostly DADFAD or DADGAD tuning.
In response to the confusion about the tuning: The fingerings look exactly like those of the capo 6 version we all know, making it unlikely to be DADGAD or some variant, so perhaps the audio has been transposed in the recording.
@WahTakVong :P You can play it any way you like, but I promise its in standard. Maybe not this version perhaps. But I've jammed with Sam (newton) and he founded the riffs and the song in standard, but by all means please try play it another way. That's the way to becoming the best type of guitarist. PEACE
@WahTakVong uumm i play it with a capo on 6th and that sounds amazing on standard so try that but hey anything that sounds great should be good enough for you cause your not newton faulkner and neither am i anything close is great it shouldnt be exactly the same it should be your cover so you should change it but hey your, your own guitarist play it your way thats what im trying to say :)
Dreads since 15...he doesn't have to prove anything...I'm sure he's heard it all, but I'm sure he's laughing all the way to the bank...lol! First album 2x platinum...speaks for itself!
@burnonatoaster because it sounds pretty good on 5th as well. Although it should really be put on 6th if you're playing in standard tuning cause Newton plays it (on the album and in his official tab book) on the 7th fret with the guitar tuned half a step down. sorry for being a know-it-all... :)
Well millions of people have that capo, theres only 3 major designs of capo. :) but i know what its like to see sumin youve got. Im the same when i see someone using one of my guitars
If anyone here wants to argue the tuning, i suggest you stop before you make yourselves look like fools.
Persnally, it does sound like he's playing Drop D with sharp g, but i have only basic musical (theory) training, anyone argues with my take, feel free to show me that you have a basis for your argument
I'm assuming this is a conversation.. Not an argument.. Its rather silly arguing on the internet. but if you've got a guitar next to you.. Grab it and slap a capo on 6th.. Standard tuning (EADGBE) i you know how to play the song, play along to it..you'll see its pretty much perfect.. Apart from the 'Whats coming nooooooow' I just cant seem to tab that bit out. Really irritating.
i dont really like this recourding, newton (or sam, his actual name,) was really couldent let louse like he usally does which is kinda puts som of the charm of his performances
You have no idea what your talking about! Theres no such thing as a 'Slight sharp Dm' Its played in EADGBE with a capo on 6th. Making the open tuning Bb. Not the Key.. The tuning.
dats a load o balls u retard.. im not even havinthis argument wiv u.. it isnot played in standard live. he drops the tuning.... and it absolutley does not sound te same wen u play alongto dis vid so gargle my ballbag......
People are saying things about his appearance but this guy looks nothing short of beautiful when he has a guitar in his hands and a song in his mouth..
i can play this on my guitar but i couldn't even consider singing at the same time!! it's such a talent to be able to do both so well - the guy is awesome!
