There are more parts to the violin harmony that i haven't figured out. Sounds
good anyway.This is MY attempt at this song. It sounds pretty good to me and
pretty close to the album too. Enjoy!
I did some looking and found that JOC uses an open E modal tuning on most
of thier songs FLOOD uses this tuning (low to high)=E-A-B-E-B-E. And they
use a Nashville tuning on this particular song. This is when the 4 bass
strings (EADG) are replaced with thinner strings one octave higher. You can
find those in any 12 string guitar string package.
Here it is in the right key Cminor (standard tuning)
