Chord Req: Tuning Request For 'The River'

Hi !

On "The River" from Arcady's "After The Ball" CD - the guitar
sounds as if it is tuned in an open tuning - I'm trying to figure
out what it is but still doesn't sound right...

any help appreciated,

- Dave

Dave, from the small sound bite I heard, I think the guitar is tuned in what is called drop D tuning. The bass string (the bass E string) is tuned down one tone to a D note.
