anthony Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 There is some controversy regarding that version (the one where he is sitting on the floor). A while back someone on this forum posted this attempt at it. I don't really like how it sounds (muddy), but YMMV. Poor Places - I Am Trying To Break Your Heart Documentary version Bb tuning - Bb F Bb F Bb D Tuning instructions: Tune the low E down three whole steps to Bb. Tune the A down two whole steps to F. Tune the D down two whole steps to Bb. Tune the G down one whole step to F. Tune the B down one half step to Bb. Tune the high E down one whole step to B.
