Tuning 'I Did It'

[Guitarlover22]

I see on the boards that the guitar is to be tuned for :

BEADF#B

Is there any alternative? Does dave ever use a CAPO? If not, do I tune it DOWN to B or UP to B?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Just to answer one part of that question, Baritone tuning is tuned lower than Standard. On the songs that are tuned higher with the same notes, this is a different octave called Raised Baritone.

Thanks...

This version seems a little sparse. Especially in the section "I never did a single thing..." In the version in standard tuning it is two notes instead of three (Of course because there is no string on top like the other version). Is there any optional version that will give it a little more oomph? Any comments on which version is actually better? Is there any disadvantage to playing it in standard tuning?

Thanks a bunch again.

A:-9----6----4----2-- <--- 1
E:-9----6----4----2--
   1    1    1    1

the vantage of playing it in standard tuning is that u wont need a baritone guitar

you can also capo at 7 for raised B. it's an octave higher than baritone, but you might give it a shot to see if you like it.

Octave up is a definite NO. Thanks for the help...you've been great.

I liked it ever since I heard the acoustic version.
