Hi mdutr0...

Sounds and looks like Standard capoed up 2 frets. He's playing in Key of C major relative to the capo.

It seems to me that he has tuned up the A and D string a whole step.
That would be EBEGBE

I don't think it is standard Larry. He plays x13010 to produce a D chord and he plays 33100x for an A7

Yeah I think you are correct...

The 6th is E and the top three are GBE because he plays the Em (sounds as F#m) several times using only those 4 strings.

Interesting chordal shading and texturing...

Thanks guys!

I usually have a decent ear for that sort of thing but the capo and his interesting playing style had me kinda fuzzy...

Why not just buy the transcription offered here? (set #2 at the bottom of the page)

Thanks for the tip Phil, i didn't know the tabs were available!

I usually like to try and figure out songs I like by ear. I feel like I learn more that way. But I may just do that in this instance.
