Notes

** Tuning **

The tuning used for this song is EGDABD - this isn't a regular 'open 
tunings' 
(at least not ones that I could find any reference to). A lot of 
people think
that deriving tunings from a record is a 'black art' - but it can be 
straight
forward if you just think about it logically. Listen for open strings, 
and
think about finger positions.
The tuning used here was derived mainly using the song intro, and 
confirmed 
in other parts of it.
If you start with standard tuning: EADGBE, the tuning can be derived 
as follows.
The 2 highest notes which are left ringing sound to be open strings - 
so we have

			X X X X B D

The first 2 notes of the common picked pattern are doubled notes - so 
a logical
step would be to tune the A down to G giving:

			X G X X B D

The descending run which occurs in bar 4, contains open strings, the 
highest note
which is picked is an 'A' - implying that the G - string needs to be 
tuned up to
an open A, giving:

			X G D A B D

The only undefined string is the low E-string, which can be left tuned 
to E since
the doubled G note can be played quite easily on the 3rd fret. If you 
then look at
verse 1 bar 8, there is an ascending little riff which uses the lowest 
3 strings in
open positions, confirming the tuning to be:

			E G D A B D (low to high)

** Playing Notes **

Technically this song is quite a simple one. All the verses (except 
verse 3)
consist of a single picked pattern, (with embellishments here and 
there) and a 
single string melody. When playing the bars with the common picking 
pattern 
let the D and B strings ring out. Verse 3 which uses the same shapes 
as the chorus.

Guitar 1 plays the main parts in the song.

The chorus' all use the same shape which correspond to 3 D-notes being 
played in 
unison. When playing the chorus' make sure you spend some time getting 
the picking
attack right and the overall feel. If you play it just as its written 
down then its 
going to sound dull, flat, boring etc. Put a bit of life into it. Make 
sure your
guitar is in tune, since the 3 D's in unison can sound fairly 
'unforgiving' if your
tuning isn't up to scratch.

Guitar 2 is used in the guitar solos only.

Both solos contain the same ideas with only minor variations between 
each other. 
The second guitar solo is used to bring the song to a close. Both 
solos convey a 
very Spanish/flamenco feel. If/when you play the rhythm track behind 
the guitar 
solo make sure you play it a little more vigourously than when its 
played in the 
normal chorus.

In the song theres a lot going off in to hide what the guitar is 
doing.
There are the usual orchestrial parts, 3-part vocal harmonies, a 
buried 
mandolin track on chorus 2 and a glockenspiel with delay on the guitar 

solo. Happy listening.
