I find it a little tough to use a slide on strings that are tuned so loosely, e.g., the high E is tuned all the way down to C. I'm pretty sure he used an electric 12-string for the main guitar part, tuned to open G, and then slowed the tape so it sounds like F. I just tuned to open G (BGDGBD) and then down a whole step.

If you tune down that far, use 12 or 13 gauge strings.

Good job. I just saw Zepparella's cover of When The Levee Breaks a few moments ago. Pretty cool to see from an all girl band.

@TelonCrow +1 to not trusting sheet music. Sheet music is only as good as the person who transcribes it.

so would Open G tuned a whole step down be Drop C?

@LedZepMan97 Both E strings would be down to C, yeah. That's why I had trouble using the slide on the high E string -- the string is just so wobbly/loose when it's tuned that low.

Nice job dude. I have some old sheet music for this song. This may help with the tuning. It is in Open F Tuning. From the First String F,C,F,C,A,F. Really enjoy your videos they have helped my along with many songs. Thought I would return the favor.

@TelonCrow You could tune to open F, but Jimmy has said he tuned to open G for this one. It sounds like F because the tape was slowed to give it some sonic texture, and that lowered the pitch. P.S. Don't trust sheet music.
