Does anyone know Robert Randolph's tuning at Red Rocks, especially on Lousiana Bayou? I don't know much about open tunings. (I assume it's an open tuning....)

thanks!

yeah it's my specialty.

I knew he had a different instrument, but is there a compatible tuning? thanks for your help.

I think that's probably up there with the largest piles of bull shit ever posted on these boards.

What fucking good could the instrument do with 12 B's?

Its probably some open tuning, like DADF#AD.

I've heard of a song where all (six) strings are tuned to E. Seriously.

Just because someone might do it doesn't make it any less ridiculous.

I know about the 6 E tuning, seems like something Dashboard would do.

once again, he does not play a 6 string guitar, he plays a 13 string pedal steel. It lies horizontal on a special table like thingy and he slides his little metal things all around it and sounds awesome.

I know, but I was giving an example for those who have no idea what open tunings are.
