Come RockWith Me/Rockin On another big epic in B.There are many more. "Bad News".I`m sure one of the guitars is in B tuning.It fits if you try it.You can capo 2nd in standard to get the other guitar part.Anyone know the real set up of this song?

The guitar shop owners where very curiuos about this weird BB tuning,and asked me to show how is is used. They where stunned with heavy sound of the bass string used by parfit`s chords(mental B shape) and barred B for 4500 time(i still mess it up). They thanked for demostration of the Brill tuning and remarked on straight boogie bouncing off the BB stings "]Forty-five hundred times I told you how much I care" very "quo they remarked ". Upshot the they loved this tuning and who we are to argue Edited by quomanuk : January 26, 2011, 4:15 pm

Is that the correct tuning for those two songs or were you just seeing how it would sound? ----------------------- Rockinronnie And that's a fact!

Is this correct? Secondly what is the B tuning he uses? Thanks Mike

Thanks Mike Hi mike sorry rick swaps his gibson melody maker tuned to B for his fender esquire with facelift tuned(rossi fills in rhythem) during these songs. The b tuning is the 1st to 4th strings are standard 5th string tuned up to B 6th string tuned down to B Edited by quomanuk : February 2, 2011, 12:58 am

The original studio version has a lot of guitar tracks in there so it is difficult to pick up what would be best way to play it live! Either way, one of the guitars would seem to def` need G or B tuning.

Either way, one of the guitars would seem to def` need G or B tuning. Works beautifully on a 12 string. basic chord is the Bmaj (middle two fingers on the 4th fret D&G strings, index on 2nd fret E string). Then use your little finger to get the melody by stretching to the 4th then 5th fret on the E. The E chord is played in the trad D shape at the 4th fret again using your little finger to hit the 7th fret in time.
