💡 VIC'S PRO TIP ON TUNING: For this lesson,
we are in Open Ab Tuning. (Strings: Eb - Ab - Eb - Ab - C - Eb)
Note on Tone: You might hear a slight difference in my specific tuning. Because I am playing a Gibson Les Paul Supreme with hot Burstbucker Pro+ pickups, I like to flatten the 2nd string to a minor note for a "darker," moodier blues feel. However, to match the Tabs and the original De Stijl album sound, keep your 2nd string tuned to C (Major).
