Yeah, the Slack Key guys call this tuning "C Wahine" (a C Maj9 tuning), or "Keola's C" because Keloa Beamer uses it a lot. You can think of it as standard with 2 lowered basses, but it's also a lot like Open G, but with with a 4 in the bass and the 6th on the top. I have a number of tunes in the tuning, and I usually use it as a G tuning, which is also what Leventhall is doing.
