Albatross - (Abridged) Corrosion of Conformity Cover

Just another barre chord based song this time around. Off of their album Deliverance, Albatross is a rather straightforward song to pick up and play... which is probably why I decided to figure it out ;)

As usual, it has its share of mistakes and I probably could have taken the time to make a better recording. But, oh well, nothing's perfect.

Hope someone enjoys it!

What tuning are you in??? Thanks.

@LeapinLarryLipschitz - All I can say for certain is that it's Drop-D.

The real song is tuned a full step down and then Drop-D (whatever that name would be). However, my guitars seem to rarely be tuned exactly to standard (or 1/2 step down or full step down). I'm usually *close* to one of those but rarely dead on ;-)

@FussenKuh Drop D tuning is just tuning the E string down to D.

Now, full step down tuning makes the strings go (from low to high) D G C F A D.

My point is, it can't be both Drop-D and a full step down. It's only one of them and in this case it's a full step down, NOT Drop-D.

@Fursasher - If you want to get all technical about it, then yes, you're correct, I can't really have full-step down guitar in a Drop-D tuning ;-)

However, I stand by my 'layman's termed' Drop-D, Full Step down. The guitar is tuned down a Full Step then has had the low string dropped again. Essentially, I have things (roughly) tuned to C G C F A D. So, technically, I guess *maybe* that makes it a Drop-C tuning? I couldn't tell you the name is correct ;-)

Good shit dude!

Badass, bubba! Corrosion of Conformity is one of the best bands ever!

@FussenKuh Was really just referring to "Touch, Peel, Stand", but yeah Meeks was always one of the guys who seemed unjustifiably arrogant. COC I hold in much higher regard, such a wide variety of influence and sound.

[FussenKuh]

@oneaware - Yeah, I remember them (even have a few covers of their songs on my channel). And, yeah, I can see some similarities between the sounds of the bands.

And, *technically* DotN are still around but for the last 5-7 years it's really just been their lead singer, Travis Meeks, with random musicians playing live shows.
