Default Re: Another New 12 String Mike

Stephan Stills, Joni Mitchell and Richie Havens are well known for full D tuning, and the late John Fahey used it some. Kottke a little. As I recall it evolved in an early blues tradition.

And yes, Dropped D tuning is just lowering the big E string to D for songs like EMR.
