huw Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Here's a list Evster posted ages back, with a couple of slight mods by me: WS/BMS - DADGAD Moby Dick - DADGBE Friends - CACGCE That's The Way - DGDGBD Bron-Y-Aur Stomp - DGDGBD Hat's Off - CGCGCE (CGCEGC ?) Going to California - DADGBD When the Levee Breaks - CFCFAC - (open G, down a tone) Rain Song (studio) - DGCGCD Rain Song (live) - EADADE Dancing Days (live) - DGDGBD In My Time Of Dying (studio)- EAEAC#E In My Time Of Dying (live) - DGDGBD Kashmir - DADGAD Bron-Yr-Aur - CACGCE Ten Years Gone - DADGBE Black Country Woman - DGDGBD Poor Tom - CACGCE Midnight Moonlight - DADGAD Jennings Farm Blues - EFCFAE ? Travelling Riverside Blues - DGDGBD Wonderful One (Double neck) - - 6 string - F#F#C#F#C#F# (GGDGDG) - 12 string - Standard tuning capo 1 City Don't Cry - EAEAC#E Wah Wah - AEAEEA No Quarter (on the "Unledded" Album) - DADGAD As far as Celebrtion Day goes, although Page played the live versions in standard tuning on the studio take there are multiple guitar tracks, not all in the same tuning: IIRC the intro slide part that JPJ has said is him is an open tuning, and Page's guitars are in standard.

Charles J. White Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) I thought "Most High" was DADGAD tuning - I'm not a pro musician like most around here, just a guy who plays his guitar in the hotel room before or after energy meetings - which I will be doing late tonight in fact because I'm heading out on the road again soon. "Most High" is a GREAT song by the way - one of Page's best to my ears! Can someone tell me if it's regular or DADGAD? Edited October 2, 2012 by Charles J.

dazedjeffy Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 ^^^ neither. It's CGCGCE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan77 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Thanks all for the very easy to access charts. What I hate about it is stretching my strings out and that is why I wish I had three or four guitars. But I just bought a brand new Taylor. A real beauty. Best acoustic/electric I have ever owned. I do miss my Les Paul but sometimes its alot easier to play acoustic because you can take it anywhere. Even though I used to have a small electric guitar amp that you could plug into your cigarette lighter in the car and blast away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Knebs Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 haven't visited this in a while, my notes and memory seem to line up with the scribemasters Evster & huw In the Evening seems to have multiple tunings used as well in the background wash/reverse echo layers. Caroselambra, How Many More Times, Battle of Evermore and When the Levee Breaks do as well. I think in a few instances he removed strings from the guitar and kept just a primary and two sympathetic strings. What I years ago originally heard as a flanger now sounds more like he was using variable tape speed during pre/post production.

JGaul Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Remember that he would often use slightly different tunings when playing some of the songs live (ex. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp live he would play in open G rather than F, but for the most part these were simply key changes) Also, I have no idea if he stayed in the same tuning for When the Levee Breaks on 'No Quarter.' (playing on the Ovation 12-string). Hard to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmilesmero Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 This thread more than makes up for the price of admission. Didn't know Ten Years was alt though--now I have to relearn my favourite song to play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGaul Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 This thread more than makes up for the price of admission. Didn't know Ten Years was alt though--now I have to relearn my favourite song to play! That is only Drop D. It simply changes what you play on the low E string. You can pretty much play the song either way with very little difference, but it is 'better' in drop D (for the droning low D at one specific point after/during the solo ------------ "Did you ever really need somebody, really need them bad..."

tazulike88 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 That's very useful, Jimmy was a fucking alt tuning master, looking at some of those tunings makes me wonder, how in hell did he do that ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishhead Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 If you don't know the Rain Song/DGCGCD, I highly recommend learning it....... It is so much fun to play. Jimmy was a genious!...cheers Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I didn't know 10 Years Gone and Moby Dick were not standard tunings............... Damn Learn something new everyday!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary7 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 "The Song Remains the Same" was followed in concert by "The Rain Song". How was that double neck Gibson tuned for those two songs in concert? If I remember correctly, weren't both necks used for both songs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woz70 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) "The Song Remains the Same" was followed in concert by "The Rain Song". How was that double neck Gibson tuned for those two songs in concert? If I remember correctly, weren't both necks used for both songs? The twelve string neck was standard tuning, the six string was tuned EADADE (basically the usual Rain song tuning, but a tone higher) - probably because you only have to change the tuning on 2 strings (G to A, and B to D) rather than four! Pretty cool actually, because it brings The Rain Song into a key related to TSRTS so that Robert can hold that great long C over the Dm7 that ends TSRTS over the A5 that opens the Rain Song - a rather lovely minor plagal cadence. Sorry for the geek-out there. TSRTS was played entirely on the 12 string neck, Rain Song entirely on the 6 string neck.

Matjaz1 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 The studio and live versions of Bron y aur stomp have different tunings and I think it's because Page did not want That's the way and Bron to be in the same key on the album. The tuning mentioned above is the live tuning: DGDGBD The studio is: CFCFAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estofest Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Speaking of alternate tunings, is the unreleased version of 'Keys to the Highway/Trouble in Mind' in open G or a drop D?. I just heard the full version on my local rock station and damn it sound good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter6260 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Can anyone tell me if “Fortune Hunter” from the Firm album is in standard tuning or not, and does anyone have a source for tabs? I suspect the album version may use an alternate tuning, but I have been assured by people who saw him live on that tour, that “Fortune Hunter” followed right after “Closer” onstage, and “Closer” was obviously in standard tuning. Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
