Tweedling Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I know I have it but I can't seem to find it. If you head over to the tab section I know some fine people over there can answer this question about his tunings. Good luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moss Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Wow, that is too funny. I almost responded the exact same way until I read that. I am pretty sure I have that issue but now I will make a note to myself to actually look for it. My intentions are always good, just need help with the execution part.

Moss Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Alright, I manged to dig it up. I assume the part you are interested in is the following: As the distinctive sonorities on several Yankee Hotel Foxtrot songs demonstrate, Tweedy, who favors vintage Gibson J-45's and Martin 0-18's, likes his altered tunings. "About half the new record is either in DADFAD (open D minor) or DADAAD he notes. Whenever the chords sound a little unusual, it's probably one of those. I don't see any specifics about songs or anything but hope that helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GutenAbend Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 thanks so much! that is exactly what i was looking for! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GutenAbend Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Does anyone know what songs are in those tunings? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anthony Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Hmmmmm... I have the following: Kamera [ Open D - D A D F# A D (no capo) ]Radio Cure [ Open D - D A D F# A D (no capo) ]Pot Kettle Black [ Open D - D A D F# A D (no capo) ] None in DADFAD or DADAAD. However, these songs (mostly) get played on the bottom three strings - DADxxx; therefore, you could almost use any of these tunings interchangeably. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GutenAbend Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Why would Tweedy mention those tunings if none of the songs are actually in those tunings? Lol.Interesting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Maybe guitar world screwed up and he really meant DADF#AD instead of DADFAD? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
