Here is the opening of "Oh":

So you're amazed as to how Dave's rhythm guitar slaps and strums so "perfectly"...but you can't. Ask all things about Dave and his guitars here.

only thing is the ending part where the low E string open is played before the final A chord. there's a few different guitar tracks layed down on this song. I think its my favorite song from the album right now. then again I like Gravedigger and Some Devil quite a bit. and Dodo is catchy. anyway,

peace.
It is definitely in raised B. It was teased a couple times during the past year and was always followed by a Raised B song. The other guitar is played by Tim Reynolds, so that would explain the lower notes.

I could be wrong but im almost absolutely positive that its in raised B because the few times that it has been teased has been right after or before you never know, which is in raised B, or after stay or leave, which is in raised B

Depends. If you take regular guitar strings, and just tune them, it will cause problems, and your strings will break much easier.


I forget who had the raised B guitar. I think it was Appsoldier, but I forget. Who ever it is, give the man the info.
