love this its great love your nic jones too farewell to the gold is bang on i play it too but how did you find that tuning its wierd love it though

[samjohncarter]

Thanks, the way to work tunings out is to listen for open strings.

[tomscotland]

Wow, thats just tremendous, I'm going to have a crack at this one myself, just to confirm though, is that tuning BABF#AD low to high? ie the fat E all the way down to B?

Once again, excellent.

[samjohncarter]

Yes, all the way down to B. He doesn't actually play that string during the song though. If you don't already, you're best off using 13 gauge strings when you're tuning down. I sometimes use a .59 for the low E if it's going down to C or B.

Very nice cover and tribute to the big man.

I been playing this since 75 when I first saw him on his Sundays Chiuld tour, but you got the sound down good-what tuning do you use?, because you have it definitely

(I use standard-'okay' but not right), that first chord at the start needs the open harmonies.

[samjohncarter]

Thanks, the tuning is BABF*AD.
