Alternate tunings?
Would anyone know if our Man used any alternate or different guitar tunings in any of his recordings with FM? Thanks!

A little off topic.. but Danny used a different tuning of "Like Crying", didn't he? But I suppose Peter had regular tuning, playing lead on that song.

And you can see that Peter is retuning his high E after this song...
I think he's playing with this string tuned in D (it makes sense with the fingers position during this song). Michael |

Thanks for the help. I'm also wondering if a different tuning (or capo at least) was used for the soloing on Green Manalishi. That I'd definitely want to learn.

the capo

Steve ray Vaughn was also one of those people. |

Most guys who tune down to Eb don't capo...Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, SRV (rarely capoed). |

it is a little dance that guitar players do. again, the more you play the better the fingers to lessen those crazy things doodyhead |

The second thing i thought was "I remember hearing a Live recorded Concert Release where in between songs Jeremy Spencer uses one of his mock voices and calls out to Peter "What kind of strings do you use? Now to answer the question.. back in the late sixties there were not the choices of strings that we have today. The first big choice was round or flat wound, then nickel or bronze, then light medium or heavy. My inclination is that he used a light to medim gauge which would start at an 11 or 12 and go to a 49 to 54 on the other side. Since he was also a Bass player I would think his fingers were as hard as nails and he would be at home on the heavier side. You asked me to guess so I would pick the bronze for brighter sound. What did they have available in england? you got me there. In Brooklyn I used darco's light gauge. Ernie balls did not come out until very late 68 or 9. let alone the other brands. I might suggest that you go to the vintage Les Paul forum. I bet they have whole threads devoted to this. http://www.lespaulforum.com/forum/index.php now that I have succeded in making a fool of myself i will say that PG had one of the sweetest guitar sounds and touch around. Where did the first sample come from? vinnie c |

http://www.fridhammar.com/xpetergre.html it would appear that his lw string is 10, or a 9 for older guitars (my guess it is for easing tension on the neck. so he prefers string gauges starting with 10. most guitar string packs this would end up a 49 to 50 on the other end on a 009 it would end up a 46 0r so. but of course this is now. they made very few sets in 10, 9 or 8s back then. the answer he gave on this website is while he was still with the splinter group vinnie c |

I recorded the sample - a 2000 Les Paul Std - mostly for fun after my latest pickup modification. The strings are 0.10 - 0.52 (all stainless steel). I really wish I could play a 0.11 - 0.56 set, but that would for shure force me to tune in Eb/D#. But how knows, maybe I'll try that and use a capo. Best regards /Michel |
