Solo tour guitar info

Unless it says otherwise, all guitarists are in standard tuning.
Here's what I remember from last night:

Not Too Late (F):
Lindsey on Amplicoustic, tuned to Open F (C-F-C-F-A-C).

Trouble (G):
Lindsey on Amplicoustic, tuned to Open G (D-G-D-G-B-D).

Never Going Back Again (F):
Lindsey on Taylor acoustic, tuned to Drop D, capo on 3rd fret.

Second Hand News (A):
Lindsey on Turner. Brett on acoustic. Neale on acoustic, Open G, capo 2nd fret.

Cast Away Dreams (Ab):
Lindsey on Taylor acoustic, tuned to Open Ab (Eb-Ab-Eb-Ab-C-Eb). Neale on standard-tuned 12-string guitar with capo on the 6th fret, playing D chords. Brett was on an acoustic capoed at the 4th fret, but I'm not sure what tuning he was in. It may or may not have been standard tuning.

Red Rover (Gb):
Lindsey on Amplicoustic, tuned to Open Gb (Db-Gb-Db-Gb-Bb-Db). Neale on acoustic capoed at the third fret, no idea what tuning he was in, but he was doubling some of Lindsey's lead lines. Brett was on keyboards for this one.

It Was You (A):
Lindsey on Turner. Brett on bass. Neale on Strat in standard tuning, capoed at the first fret. I have no idea why he capoed on this one, considering he just played barre chords the entire time.

Big Love (C#m):
Lindsey on Chet Atkins nylon string acoustic, capo 4th fret.

Go Insane (Am):
Lindsey on Chet Atkins.

Under the Skin (Bb):
Lindsey on Taylor acoustic tuned to Open Ab, capo 2nd fret. Brett on acoustic tuned to Open D (D-A-D-F#-A-D), capo 1st fret. Neale on acoustic tuned to Open G, capo 3rd fret.

World Turning (Bm):
Lindsey was on that strange acoustic guitar that was mentioned here before. It's tuned to B-F#-B-E-G#-C#, which is Drop D tuned down one and a half steps. Brett and Neale both on acoustics, can't remember exactly what they were doing or what tuning they were in. During the drum solo, Brett switched to keys, from which he sampled Lindsey's voice.

I'm So Afraid (Dm):
Lindsey on Turner, tuned down a step to D-G-C-F-A-D, playing as if he were in E minor. Brett on bass, and Neale on Strat. Before Lindsey came in, Brett played something weird on the keyboard.

I Know I'm Not Wrong (Ab):
Lindsey on Turner and Neale on Strat, both tuned down a half-step to Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb. Brett on bass, which I think was also tuned down a half-step.

Tusk (Dm):
Lindsey on Turner, Neale on Strat, Brett on keyboards.

Go Your Own Way (D):
Lindsey on Turner, tuned down a step. Neale on 12-string acoustic, capoed at the 5th fret. Brett on bass.

Holiday Road (F):
Lindsey on Turner and Neale on Strat, both capoed at the first fret. Brett on keyboards.

Turn It On (A):
Lindsey on Turner, Neale on Strat, Brett on keyboards.

Show You How (Ab):
Lindsey on Turner, tuned down a half-step. Neale and Brett both on bass (don't ask me why!)

Shut Us Down (Eb):
Lindsey on some acoustic guitar (can't remember which), tuned to Open Eb (Eb-Bb-Eb-G-Bb-Eb)

Are you sure? That's a healthy change from the original key of "F".

The arrangements on this tour are spectacular. I'm sure if you listened to some boots you'd be surprised.

I think he's right. Just checked one of the boots and it's definitly in D.

I don't think the tuning is quite right for Shut Us Down though. It's played in E, but the tuning is actually C# E B E G# B. If you watch video rfom when he played it on a late-night show you can see that he has the A string tuned down to E. I'm not 100% sure if he has the E string tuned to C# in the live one, but he does for the studio one as best as I can tell.

I'm positive he was in Open Eb on SUD. Probably did it differently than on the video you're talking about.

Whoops, didn't see the "b" there, sorry. Now that I've checked he does play the Conan whatever his name is in Eb, but the tuning isn't standard Open Eb, it's the tuning I listed before, down 1/2 a step. That's what he's been playing in all the videos I've seen of this tour. It looks like he's playing Open Eb, but it's actually moved up a string.

Of course, you were there and I wasn't so...
