| I have noticed that a lot of the SoS songs and the EP appear to be tuned down a whole step (high to low) DAFCGD. There are obvious exceptions Drive for example. Is this right or am I just way of the mark? | |

| yeah, they do have a bunch of drop d songs, like "Miles Davis", "We're Getting A Divorce", and "Wooderson". for the tabs, i just left them in standard, 'cause it's only the low d power chord that you need to be in drop d for | |

| Looking through some live videos Brian at least plays open chords and barre chords a lot. So I think the majority of the stuff must be down tuned. At least if im playing the songs like that the only way they sound in key is with the down tunning. | |

| No sense in changing tunings mid-set. | |

| I agree with Kieran. Brain plays a lot of open cords, so a lot of the songs are played a full step down even on the records (Great Expectations, '59 Sound, I Coulda Been a Contender, etc). I put tabs up for GE and I Coulda played this way in the tabs section. | |
