Matthew I'm sure it's open G with the E string played on the 5th fret and watch as he slides up to the 5th fret and barres the first four strings

what is tuning?

@dvon157 Obviously the drummer IS playing with brushes. Also, this is the first time I have ever heard of someone complaining that they would rather a song NOT have a violin in it. The song has violin on the album, as well.

@dvon157 im pretty sure the recording just carrys too much highend and doesnt pick up enough low end to fill the sound out.

Does anybody know what he's tuned to when he plays this song?

newsjoe

you guys should lighten the fuck up. Bill wrote the song and I'm sure he can decide where/when/how he wants his accompaniment. Not to mention it was recorded off a camera. Who knows how the levels were in the room. I saw him last month with the violinist and this song was ace.

I agree with letting the violinist fuck off but dont talk shit about thor. He is the man and fits in with bill perfectly

Jesus, but I hate hearing Callahan's beautifully simple melodies slaughtered by hyperactive accompaniment. Somebody should have forcefully removed that fucking violinist. Absolutely NO understanding for the heart-and-soul of the song. So too with the drummer who should've been playing with brushes at least. Play alone Bill, you're waaaaaay better with a good solid solo sound.
