Anyone know what tuning Nels uses for his lap steels?


Recommended Posts

I've been looking for this but I can't find it. I know it's been mentioned before. It's a modified open G with some unison strings (I think there's two strings tuned to the same B, but slightly out of tune to give some dissonance.) I think it's been mentioned in this forum but the search isn't helping (since you can't use words 4 letters or less doesn't help)

The mod off of Open G is so that minor key scales are easier...i use to have that tuning written down....opps!

I remembered that too, but it took me a while to find it. Here's the link to the old discussion. I didn't see an exact answer, but the consensus is that it's a variation of open G.
