Song: Prayer
Band: Big Wreck
Tabbed by: Dennis Munoz (Blupowder@aol.com)
Tuning is--B F# C# F# B D--low to high
This tuning is rather unconventional
As a guide, start with the guitar tuned down a half step from standard
then drop the 5th string a whole step and the 6th string 2 whole steps.
At this point the 7th fret of the 5th string would sound the same as the
open 4th string and the 7th fret of the 6th string would sound the same
as the open 5th string. Next, the 2nd string is tuned up a half step and
the 1st string down a half step....whew! Only the 3rd and 4th strings
stay the same. Probably a tuner would be a big help here :)
Why someone would tune a guitar like this is beyond me, but its great.
Jimmy Page also had a "bad"habit of detuning similar to this.
