LiveMusic Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Oh, man, I stumbled into this. I was looking for lyric to She Talks To Angels by Black Crowes. Found tab for it. I am always wanting some stuff like Black Crowes do for the younger crowd. I need to buy a record of theirs. My guitar was tuned DOWN a whole step from standard EADGBE to DGCFAD, I guess that is. Then I found on this tab how to do open E tuning. I did that, which actually mine open D tuning. Whatever, same thing except D is lower. Duh. So, wondering what songs are cool in this tuning? Just goofing around, I already wrote some pretty cool licks for a song. Fantasticsound, I think this might be what I saw Hank Jr. used for Country Boy Will Survive (which I said I wont' play cuz I hate it). I might soften up and do it. I used Drop D some and I've messed with DADGAD but this open tuning, I've actually never done, believe it or not. I like. > > > [ Live! ] < < < Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillWelcome Home Studios Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Well, as I said in another thread.... "...I used to do a lot of tunings, but I have gotten away from that. Open G for Stills' "Johny's Garden", Open D for a ton of stuff.... Rod Stewart's "That's All You Need", various combos of CSN tunes like "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes", "4 and 20", Humble Pie's "You're So Good for Me", a handful of Joni Mitchell tunes (California & Big Yellow Taxi...) Black Crows "She Talks to Angels"... Open C for Crosby's "Music is Love"..." I use open D just because open E, which is the first one that I learned, is just a little high for me for most songs that seem to use it. You can do Still's "Black Queen" in dropped D. Lawrence Juber plays a lot of killer stuff in open D, including his stunning version of Strawberry Fields".

I got wind of the Black Crowes song because I heard it on the jukebox after my Saturday gig and I thought it sounded like a good song for solo acoustic. > > > [ Live! ] < < < Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
