REALLY like the open tuning 12 string Eric. Thanks for putting that up, where’d you first hear him? Sounds like open E, I’ll mess with it a bit.
Peace

I tuned my guitar down to B (5 semitones), with standard tuning, and had fun jamming in something that sounds pretty close. Incidentally, I figured out that suits my comfortable singing range much better and doesn't make me sound like a straining dying horse! Maybe I'll give more effort into trying to get some songs ready to sing for a campfire. But the fingering he's doing on the higher part doesn't make sense with standard tuning, or an open E or A shape. Look at that run
--------
--------
--------
---------5
-----5-7
-5-7----
That is standard tuning (except dropped pitch), but the higher riff (which can be played similar to this in standard tuning):
-9-7---9-7
-----8----8
--------
--------

Well it seems like he's playing something different? But then again, when he gets into the main backing for the vocals, it works out perfectly in standard tuning.
p.s. Woah, tablature mangling... another time I'll try to make an image of it.
