James, it's good ol' standard DAA. I didn't put it on a tuner to make sure it was exactly on pitch, but it should be pretty close.
I get that question quite often. I played two chorded and flatpicked pieces during open stage time at a festival just this past Saturday, and a lady stopped me afterwards to ask about my tuning. When I told her my standard is DAA, she responded, "But what are you in NOW?" I am surprised at the number of folks who still think that DAA is for beginners and old-school noter-droners, and that advanced techniques actually require DAd tuning. I play, and have taught, both tunings, as well as others; but I find that making chords that sound the way I want them to is easier in DAA (for me, anyway), and the extra notes below the tonic on the melody string allow me to do more without having to retask my treble drone.
That was a really great job of playing and sing on this old song, William I very much enjoyed it.
Great job!
Nice going, William. You strum with an ease to which we should all aspire.
I like that palm muting, too.
That is just wonderful!!!
Great rendition William, thank you for this.
Good rendition. I may have to try to do my version, too.
Very lively and fun toe tapping song, William the embellishments were great.
I'm so glad you joined us here. This is quite cool.
