don't simply try and tune each string up the 2.5 steps up, it will break your strings and could damage your neck. dave uses a different set up of string gauges to be able to tune his up so high, but it's dangerous to tune normal strings that tight.

Put a capo on the second fret. there is an alternate tab for using a capo on this site.

Peace,

capo second for jkanter's alternative version, or just capo 7 and play it like dave does.
