@Blacksquareable Martin uses Heavy Gauge strings for this tuning - which you shouldn't tune up to Standard (unless you really despise your guitar neck and want to destroy it). I play with Medium Gauge and they're OK going down to this tuning, but if you're using ordinary Light Gauge you'll have tuning problems and they'll flop everywhere.

But he does play stuff in normal tunings as well doesn't he? I've tried the open tunings a few times but it's a complete nightmare. My guitars just hate it and go completely out of tune.

@revolverator Tuning is (low -> high) CGCDGA.

could one of you fine gentlemen or ladies please clear this up for me and tell me what tuning is actually being used? I'm just getting more and more confused... Brilliant tune!

Great to hear this from Martin. More would be great.

Thanks for posting this. And thanks to Martin for his generosity - sharing tuning and details of one of his signature tunes ... The irony of such horrendous bloodshed giving rise to such an upbeat tune ...

The one downside is that this video doesn't capture the amazing resonance of Carthy's open tunings. I heard him once at the Library of Congress' Coollidge Auditorium and the walls, the seats, the whole room was vibrating! It was like being INSIDE the guitar.

Martin, nice job! And good on you for telling the truth about the Siege...no sugar-coating John Bull's bloody avarice.
