FYI about You Never Know from Tab Book

Unread post by IronMike778 » Sat Jan 25, 2003 12:08 pm

I finally picked up the Busted Stuff book, and thought I'd pass along what it says for You Never Know. If this has already been mentioned on the site somewhere, sorry about the repeat.

"Dave Matthews actually omits capo and tunes lower 5 strings up a 5th and highest string down a 4th, using the following gauges (low to high):
.039, .029, .018, .014, .010, .016. To avoid restringing, capo 7th fret and tune 1st string down an octave."

Everybody always asks me how she's doing. Has she really lost her mind? I said "I couldn't tell you, I've lost mine."
