@SockbatReplica Todd Rittmann's E and A strings are down-tuned quite a bit. This allows him to provide a bass and mid-range to their sound, while his D,G,B and E strings are tuned the same as Shippy's guitar, which I believe is standard. I've been planning on covering one of their songs for a while now, so I'll confirm precise tuning when I find out.

God I miss this band....

@SWISSCOLORVISION yeah.. unfortunately i didn't catch them very often as they weren't playing very often. towards the end, i mean. i definitely wasn't at that show.

@joneshiro you're probably right. It must have been out of state, cause Maple only played like once or twice a year in Chicago, and I think I caught all their shows. This was Adam's first show as drummer, so maybe he didn't learn this song yet. I remember Adam was extremely nervous, but he fit right in. Pat was more of jazz drummer, he really hit right on beat or would slice it to shreds; and when Adam joined he would let the band fall apart, and then clean up the mess.

@SWISSCOLORVISION i think thymme might have filled in on drums in between drummers, at least a few shows - maybe just on tour, so maybe it was only out of state. that is how i KIND OF remember it, at least.

What tunings do these guys use?.. Anyone know?

@SockbatReplica standard E tuning, I believe. They don't use open tunings or D tunings as far as I can tell.
The sound on this video is kind of bad cause the sound guy had Al's vocals turned down real low, barely audible sometimes, and if you notice you can barely hear Mark's guitar. At one point, I think, Al threw his mike stand down in frustration at not hearing his vocals.

Yeah, you can also hear Weasel yelling 'Go!' at one point.
