No, not even close. Tune the 1st string up to a D#, then tune the 2nd to the 1st string, and the 3rd to the 2nd both at the fifth fret. 4th string is tuned down to a C and the 5th string is a G#. These tunings are precisely to achieve certain harmonics. It may have a designation, possibly something in Am. Not a tuning I hang around in very much. =)
Oh. Either way it sounds amazing. I really wish I could play as good as you. Do you play other stuff besides Bela stuff? It would be interesting to see you do a Scruggs song or something.
do you learn all these songs by tab?
you know like... all his hard hitters.
fuck.
do you have any of your own compostions?
