Does anyone know what tuning Nic Jones uses on the song "Canadee-I-O" on the recording Penguin Eggs? I think it's something like G-C-G-C-C-G.

Actually I heard it was CGCGCD, but down one whole step to Bb, etc.

Sam Carter has a video on Youtube discussing this song which includes the tuning.

very good video,I found it a little difficult to see if he was frailing down with middle finger, as a player would when frailing on a banjo, or picking up as in up picking[seeger style] banjo.
