Tuning: D G D G B D
Title: Midnight Creeper Artist: Eagles Of Death Metal Album: Peace, Love, Death Metal Tuning: Open G overtones tuning (GGDGBD) Use the Open G overtones tuning instead of the normal open G tuning (DGDGBD). The Eagles of Death Metal use this tuning for nearly all of their songs. Use your thumb to play the bass notes on either the first or second G-string (I prefer the first one because it sounds a bit darker) and your ring, index and middle finger for the higher notes on the g, b and e strings. [Intro] D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--3--0-------------------------3--0----------------------------------------| G|--0--0--3h4p3p0----------------0--0--3h4p3p0-------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| x4 G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--0--0--0-----0---0h3b4rb3-----0--0--0-----0---0h3b4rb3--------------------| There are actually two ways you can play the verse. I prefer the first because Jesse plays it live like this (for comparison check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ta8Fqc-gNQI&t=455s at 7:10) but you can also combine both of the versions, works totally fine.
