I'm from his hometown, Springfield, Ohio, and I never heard of him. He's going to be performing here and I looked him up. I really like his songs and sound. He should have been big back in the day! Anyone know what this tuning is? Kinda sounds like open g but he's talking about weird tunings so maybe it's something a little different. I would really like to learn this song, if anyone knows the tuning it would save some work , thanks
I'm from Springfield, I never heard of John Batdorf! I really like his music. I like the open almost 12 string sound. I would really like to learn this song. I saw in the paper he's going to be performing back near his hometown again. He should have been really big.
Karen, John wasn't from Springfield. But in the general area.
I can't remember the name of the first group he was with.. probably about 14 yrs old.
He sang lead for the Trojans at 15 -16 yrs.. Kettering Oh, area/ Dayton.
He's on the road now 4/ 2010.. Was actually Back Home! lol

I asked John about the tuning he used. Here is his response:
low and hi E tuned down to D
G string tuned up to A
Capo on the second fret
