Lance Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 I think the DADAAD tuning was used for "I'm Always in Love" but I could be wrong. LJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SomewhatHonest Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I think I remember reading somewhere that the DADAAD tuning is for Can't Stand It. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chisoxjtrain Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I think somewhere on this site that i saw pot kettle black as open D5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parsifal Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 I think I remember reading somewhere that the DADAAD tuning is for Can't Stand It.I'm pretty sure that was the DADF#AD tuning - cos in the interview just recently posted here JT talks about that "Carpenter's feel" on CSI. I think the C-tuning I've mentioned is for Poor Places...still can't work out how J is playing it, or what the tuning is EXACTLY, but I'm getting there Ta. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dude Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I'm pretty sure that was the DADF#AD tuning - cos in the interview just recently posted here JT talks about that "Carpenter's feel" on CSI. I think the C-tuning I've mentioned is for Poor Places...still can't work out how J is playing it, or what the tuning is EXACTLY, but I'm getting there Ta. sorry for falling asleep on this one. He uses DADAAD on a few songs on YHF - Pot Kettle Black, Kamera (album version). Open D (DADF#AD) on Radio Cure. Poor Places may be open D down a step (CBCE#BC). I'll give the doc version a listen. I'm pretty sure Jay has a capo on 3 and plays it the "normal" way (G,D,Em,C,A7,C)... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevej Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Has the correct way to play Kamera with the right tuning ever been posted here? If so, can someone point me in the right direction? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers mate - yeah, I think yr right - but Jeff plays it solo ( I think, if memory serves - not seen it in a while...) with Tony M looking on & some comment is made about the gorgeously deep sound of the guitar.

Atticus Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Hey guys,apologies if this has been covered before... Anyone know what tunings Jeff uses?Pretty sure there's that Open-C tuning from the movie IATTBYH ....any others?Ta. not sure how much of jeff's playing you've listened to, but I figured while we're talking tunings someone should throw in that if you want to play a lot of his stuff, you're definitely going to need a capo.

WaronWar Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Live he plays "Poor Places" in normal tuning with the capo on the third fret. It is the same way Jay Bennet plays it in the documentary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Jeff does use a few differnt tunings but essentially anything he plays live is in Standard or Drop D. P.S. Kingpin and Walken are in Open G. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
