I should knwo this, but on Jesus just left Chicago, is Billy tuning his A string to a G?

He does use a lot of cool tuning variations. But I think he's in standard tuning, on that one.

Here you go, buddy! A backing track, to jam on.

Be sure to check out all of the FREE backing track downloads. I'm sure HFA will send the secret police by there, soon. Then, they'll be gone, like the TAB sites.

We play that song and play it in standard tuning, but I think the Rev. has his A tuned to G, at least I know I've seen it that way in a Tab book.

Yes, figured it out. Drop the A to G and it really thickens it up and nails it.
