Default Anyone know what tuning this is?

Go to www.mauricedickson.co.uk click on Albums, then on the tune " The Jester's Dance" I thought it might be DADGAD but not sure. Beautiful tune!

Just with a quick listen, no guitar around, I'd guess DADGAD. There's enough playing/tuning with open strings before the tune starts that you should be able to pick most or all of the open strings and figure it out pretty fast.

That's the thing, by the way, with these open tunings, you've got to hunt through the tune to find all or most of the open strings first, trying to figure it out from the chords alone can be a nightmare if it's something totally out there like say a Joni Mitchel, Ani Defranco, or Michael Hedges' tuning.
