I'm pretty sure I heard him in say in an interview he has no idea and plays everything completely by ear! I'll see if I can find the link.

That’s pretty amazing actually. Even just remembering where the chords are from song to song:

The string will be okay. You could tune it all the way up to C without breaking. I've tuned my acoustic steel up to G standard. These things are surprisingly resilient.
