Hey guys, have you all seen the mpeg video of Dave + Tim's new song "Stay or Leave" I have it if anyone wants it, although it may be hard to send unless you have a fast connection. It's pretty sweet though, and I didn't know that any of the shows were video taped, so I'm guessing the whole show migh be out there. |

If you listen to it though, it's too high pitched to be baritone...capo VII makes it sound fine. |

Raised B tuning? Why not just put a capo at VII? That fucking Dave and his thing against capos.
I have never heard of such a thing as Raised B Tuning. Most guys I know just capo it up to VII. If it is B E A D F# B, it might be in baritone tuning, which would be tuned down, not up.

Hey guys this song is in raised B tuning. Although I have learned it in standard tuning. Tim could play it without changing guitars very easily by just playing in the key of B. The root chords to it are like Bm, D, A, and G...with an Em in the chorus. Cool tune though! :) |

I would never, ever string a regular guitar with heavy gauge strings and then tune all the strings up five whole steps. That is entirely too much tension and I would imagine you would for the first time see the headstock actually in the soundhole and only attached by the wooden fragments there were once the neck.
If you tune lower, you want a heavier gauge so the strings don't flop around and sound like rubber bands. One way to achieve a raised tuning is to use what is called Nashville tuning. To do this, buy a set of regular 12-string strings, but only string the higher unison strings on your six string. So instead of using the low E, use the E string that is one octave higher than usual. When all is said and done, you will also have a new set of the regular strings because you wouldn't be needing them.
If you have alot of money they make standard tuned guitars that are scaled smaller than a regular guitar but larger than a mandolin. Check out http://www.veilletteguitars.com/gryphon.htm . Joe Veillette makes some really, really cool stuff. Just look at this: http://www.veilletteguitars.com/whatsnew.htm

Here's a pretty good explanation (at least to me) about the tunings.

So then there are two sets of strings to get your raised/lowered B tuning. Not that I have the time, patience, or money to experiment with this, but what type of gauge strings will accomplish this? I should probably search the site first before I ask.... |

Just put the capo on the 7th fret and go to town... |

Don't (repeat DON'T) tune your guitar to that tuning with normal strings. They'll break. I read that you'll need heavier gauge strings. |

He's used the raised B tuning for You Never Know and I guess most of the Everyday songs. I guess that it is the baritone tuning. Not positive, just speculating. |

So apparently it's tuned as B E A D F# B...time to figure this one out. Anyone offer some tips on how to raise the pitch of your strings past normal tuning without snapping them? If I go one whole tone higher, my treble strings usually snap in two. |

Is it in a different tuning though? I mean, that would obviously make sense...but I've never seen him play anything other than standard tuning or drop D and it certainly doesn't sound like drop D. Maybe he really IS heading for new frontiers =). I was just under the impression that he played almost everything D+T with a Martin and it looks like a Taylor in the video. |

They swapped Dave's guitar cause its in a different tuning. Not sure how Tim played it as I am not a guitar player really...but uh..yeah. |
| CPPJames |
Posted - 04/14/2003 : 6:53:21 PM
Anyone noticed they swapped Dave's guitar everytime he played this song? It looks like a Taylor in this video (which obviously have some pretty solid treble) but I can't really tell. Anyone know? |

Or you could be lazy like me and watch it upside-down using WMP. I really need that codec. |

at least 3/28, 3/29, and 4/3 were video taped, and will be out at one point (for anyone else reading this, dont ask me when or how or whatever, cause i honestly dont know). Any others may be out there but i dont know. And just a reminder you need the SVCD codec for this MPG. And heres another link for it:
