Steve Hackett's tuning to "More Fool Me"???
Not familiar with that tune, but if you provide me a link to where I can hear the first few bars (NOT to download a pirated copy) of it I'll be VERY happy to figure it out.
I checked at tabcrawler.com and ultimate-guitar.com and none of the tabs seem to indicate an alternate tuning. http://www.tabcrawler.com/search.php...e=guitar+chord

...yeh, that's IT--LAZY--just like Clapton is known as "slow-hand"...have a look see at johnny winter, robt. johnson, cream, page, richards, vai, elmore james, muddy waters, magic-slim, willie higgins, duane allman...yeh, they were all LAZY...you're absolutely correct...most of them were/are also VERY rich, well-respected, and quite accomplished...you got something against LAZY?...I mean, sure, it doesn't work so well at the gym, but being "laid-back" on stage or in the studio can really come across as intense.

cello-pudding wasn't talking about the tunings or the players who use them. He was talking to those of us too lazy to go through the website you linked.

Yeh, I'd call that LAZY alright. Nothing especially wrong with being lazy. In fact, my neurologist prescribes a daily 20mg dose of pure amphetamine for me and I'm still fairly LAZY. Good to hear from ya.

Go here http://www.homerecording.com/bbs/sho...d.php?t=235299 and read post#3 to understand why I provided a "free" download link instead of FREE copy/paste INFO that largely represents MY OWN EFFORT.

Hmmm, haven't been able to find anything (video, etc). Will see what I can do.
I haven't seen any tabs that have shown an alternate tuning either, but you can definitely tell from the song.

[toyL]

I think I heard the tune on WTTS today. It might be drop-D.

[atirkrage]

Good post. I appriciate it

[Tadpui]

I always thought The Rain Song is in Open G. And that Braun Yr Aur Stomp is in Open D, capo at 3rd Fret.
