Tuning: E B G# E B E
From the album ‘Exile and the Kingdom’
Tabbed by pootweet@gmail.com
The tuning for this song is open E. The standard tuning just sounds a little off, Jeff Martins tunings are anything but standard,
the dude uses heaps of different tunings, his poor guitar tech, 12strings as well tuned to chords.
This song is in open E (he told me it was in open E). It sounds so much nicer (and easier to play) in Open E, just beautiful. I have only done the basics,
I can’t play like the guy, there are lots of little notes in there, just play along with the record.
I’ll do my best to give you the low down, he has so much slight of hand it’s hard to get everything down,
feel free to change anything or add the little bits that I know I have missed.
