Tuning: E A D G B E
Billy Gibbonzs best kept secret: Most of his songs are played in open E minor
E B E G B E TUNING NOT OPEN E BUT OPEN E MINOR 3RD STRING STAYS G
Most of this song is soloing in Bm penetonic, only with this tuning
the penetonic scale is altered
B Penetonic scale with Em tuning. Since you will be tuning your 4th and 5th
string up a full step your fingering on the 4th and 5th string for penetonic will move
the same
