@norstate Thanks! Gotta try it out 8)

@PLANSBANDOFFICIAL no nothing is dropped in this tuning. everything is standard except the low e (thickest string), which is tuned up to g. this provides a constant bass note played with the right thumb, while accompaniments and melodies are simultaneously played with the right index finger. ali often added a capo depending on where he wanted to sing. often at the third fret, in this case it's the first fret. the technical aspects aren't so mysterious. the emotional, on the other hand...

@norstate Oh how do you mean exactly. Like every string dropped to E? :O Thanks, A

[norstate]

@PLANSBANDOFFICIAL tuning is low e up to g. ali often added a capo at the third fret as well, although here it seems to be at the first. not really important except to play along with the recordings. good luck

Why such short posts????

Cuts the music abruptly

I don't like that, would Ali?

[PLANSBANDOFFICIAL]

Anyone know tuning for this? Cheers
