What tuning are you using man?

I saw you last year at Springin, Jax Beach at some barbecue joint with Shayne Dwight. You played the baddest Voodo Chile since Hendrix!

[conradoberg]

Thank you for the kind words, I'll pass them on to Conrad. He said that he uses "Open A" tuning for this song.

It's a Burns Steer. Semi-Hollow electric.
