Default "Jesus Make Up My Dyin Bed" tuning.

Anybody know what tuning Ari Eisenger uses in his version of "Jesus Make Up My Dyin Bed"??

I don't know what Ari Eisenger uses, but Stefan Grossman's transcription from the original (?) Josh White version is in D - DAD#FAD

Grab your guitar, tune it to G or D, and then make sure your 6th string matches his in pitch. Then watch him play on the 5th string. That's the easiest way if you have video.

If you only have audio just listen to the bass root. Is it D or G... Again pretty easy to narrow it down to G (or A) D (or E) or other. If other is anything other than G Minor or D Minor, I pretty much don't need to learn the song bad enough to put in the work to figure it out and learn. Too many awesome songs in D,G, Dminor,and Gminor I haven't even heard let alone learned.
