Standard tuning
Comments: There is a slight problem here. Two things in this song are
pretty hard to play; the low F in Rhy. Fig 3 is a bitch to get to after
the preceeding riff and the arpeggiation of Absus2 in Rhy. Fig 4. Now,
the low F could be easily solved by using a capo at the first fret, that
would land the F on the open 6th string. I don't think that's how it was
played however. The arpeggiation and that cumberome fingering could be
easily solved by tuning down to Eb and using open strings. But, the timbre
of that part doesn't suggest open strings, but rather the position I've
used here. I say just play.
