I use Elixir 11-52 strings on all my guitars. I don't own this one any more - I part-exed it for the Andy Manson Jumbo you can see me playing in other videos.
Easy to do really - put the guitar in Open D tuning (DADF#AD) and use the barre plus string 5 2 frets above the barre for the 'vamp' and use an Dm shape across the strings for the high bits. You can do that.
Great job and a great tone out of that guitar. I think it may be a 1988 Martin D42 LE (for limited edition). I have one as well. Martin only made 75 of them back in '88. I have number 16.
This is great! Thanks for showing me how to play this awesome song. I also love just pressing the 0 (zero) key over and over and over. Classic!

@MsKonkeyDong Thanks for the comment - once you have the tuning, it's really not that hard.

You have just earned yourself a fan!
I have no idea how you managed that without a capo.
Miracles.

Thanks - I'm pleased and surprised in equal measure. I only did it the 'thrash' that Martin really heavily.
