I use a few different guitars during my performances. Where I’m not playing in a standard guitar tuning (EADGBE), I’ve tagged the songs to indicate which one:

  • EBEG#BE or EBEF#BE = Open E Tuning (‘Norman’)
  • Baritone = like a standard guitar, but tuned low (sometimes C#F#BEG#C#, sometimes BEADF#B)
  • ADGCEA = like a standard guitar at capo 5, my ‘high strung’ guitar
  • DADGBD / DADGCD = double drop D
