Subject: RE: Guitar: How does Stephen Stills do that?
Well, okiaty... I talked a little bit about tunings 5-6 years ago... Here's one fir ya'll...
First of all, I go backwards from the high E string to the bass E string...
It's EBEBBE...
It's got that definite E Modal sound to it that Stills is so famous for playing... I just like those Bs because they give it more modal-ly sound...
Just remember... I do stuff backwards so start on the high E string... EBEBBE!!!
This tuning absolutely rocks and so I'd recommend that if yer gonna try it then try it on yer second geetar 'cause yer not gonna want outta it no time soon...
