Tuning for Tom Rush, Galveston Flood ?
Can anyone please tell me what tuning Tom Rush uses for Wasn't that a mighty storm?
I think I can figure out the slide part by watching the video. Although, I don't think I'll be using a flat knife for a slide. https://youtu.be/5u05E8btu_U

Mighty Storm
I learned the song way before I heard Rush's interpretation (which is quite good) and have always played it straight, in D. I might revisit it in Drop D and see how that sounds.

Straight from Tom's website.......
“Mighty Storm” couldn’t be simpler. It’s in an open tuning (formerly C tuning, now G tuning capo’d on the 2nd fret). It has 2 chords: the One (all open strings or at the 12th fret, an octave higher) and the Four (fifth fret). I use the handle of a table knife for a slide, but anything will do.

Oops, sorry about that Dude. I didn't have a guitar handy, should've checked before posting. Sounded like a D and I didn't notice Tom dropping the A string down.
Definitely a Cambridge type show, 65% talk and only 35% music. I guess with Tom it's okay, but we get too many like that. |
