what's the deal with the tuning for messenger? is it a 12 string tuned in some kind of 7th? |

Tim's a fuckin genius if he did that and pulled it off so well  I'm interested to know if that is in fact what he does... |

It would be really cool if it was alternately tuned. That'd be a first for Tim, at least as far as I have heard of. |

it sounds like the e, a, d, and their respective octave strings are tuned like e/f# a/b d/e or something. it moves too fast for my somewhat (severely) lacking aural skills to be able to tell. |

Yeah, it's weird, I just tried to figure out the first few notes, and it's some kind of slide from a F to a F# (on my 12-string down half a step which I'm assuming TR was doing as well), and it's just damn confusing what the hell is going on. I can't tell if the octaves are just from the high and low pairs on the 12... It seems something like this:
---------------
---------7/8---
---0-----------
-----4/5-------
---------------
---------------
...but I have no confidence in that. It's never a good sign when you have no idea what's going on within the first 2 seconds of a song. |

I'll give it a quick look here later, I've been meaning to examine it more closely. But strangely, I have a feeling I won't be able to get anything helpful down. |
