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.
