Thanks, Mike! That's fantastic!

It's great to provide alternative tunings.

Don't forget the OotC version of "Never Going Back Again" in open tuning...but some weird tuning I've yet to figure out.

That was actually in Drop D tuned down significantly (I think 2 steps??)

I don't think so, since his fingering is totally different than on any other version I've seen. It has to be some odd tuning rather than just a Drop D variation.

Hmm...I've never actually seen it...but what I've heard sounds almost exactly like what he was playing on the SYW tour, except a lot lower.

Hey,

I managed to find the tabs to the Rare On Air Version of NGBA along with the alternate tuning that its played in. I hope this correct and useful to you.
I hope that lovely solo part of NGBA that he plays now that wasnt on Rumours is on those tabs also.

Is that for all of the guitars? On the Soundstage version are Brett and Neale tuned to Open G as well? On the studio version how many guitars do you hear? I get 3 playing tops at one point but I find it hard to tell.

Sorry for all the questions I'm trying to make a tab of it so the me and two mates can learn to play it and I'm trying to get it right

EDIT: OK I'm pretty sure that they are all tuned to Open G (Capo 1) after trying to learn to play some of it last night.

Anyone have the tunings for any of the UTS songs yet that haven't been mentioned yet?
I've been working on a few of these songs, but as far as I can tell they are all in standard (somebody prove me wrong )

Show You How
To Try For The Sun (actually ever so slightly flat)
Cast Away Dreams

Anyone got any more? I'd guess Not Too Late and SUD (probably I Am Waiting as well, I guess) are in Open tunings, though I haven't got round to them yet. And we already know DOR and SGCYM.

EDIT: TTFTS is actually in open A as far as I can tell. Could be wrong.

Wow do you know the red rover progression? that would be a cool one to play
