Does anyone know what tuning Clapton uses on his version of "It Hurts Me Too". It seems to be Open E. I am referring to the cut on his Hyde Park DVD in particular but any info is appreciated.

Thanks

I looked in 3 tab sites for you. They all are tabbed in standard.

thats the best I can do for you.

Yes I looked up those as well. I don't think that is correct based on the way it is played on the Hyde Park DVD. I'll shed it for a while and see how I make out. Thanks

I asked around and this is what i came up with.




If you're talking about the version from From The Cradle or from the bootleg 'Nothing But The Blues' DVD then it's open-C# (open-D down a half step).

Is he playing it on a great big hollow-body Gibson with pickups that look like P-90s? (they're actually older than P-90s)

If so, it's open-C#.

Those same guys are thinking maybe open E but, more likely C#

On the Hyde Park DVD he is playing that bid old Gibson. I am jamming with a friend tonight so I will try it in Open D (on my Acoustic) and see how it comes out.

Thanks again

Disk 3, Track 13. He is playing in Open E. I know this is tedious but at least we are putting some activity into this forum (which I think has great potential!)

Thanks

cograts man. glad you found your tuning. Its' got me thinking about doing it in dropped D in a swing style.

[pcmancini]

Post a file if possible. I really like the tune - not sure how it will sound swing style - and am going to work it through this weekend.

OK, now that I have it on my CD trainer: The Crossroads version is in Eb (open E down a half) and the DVD is in C# (Open D down a half)
