1. Gimme The Sign
The song (and the whole album in fact) is recorded in C# standard tuning (whole guitar
tuned 3 half steps down from E standard). However, it's hardly worth the effort tuning
down when you can play most of the album in standard regardless. On this song the intro
does clearly require the lower tuning, but an approximate equivalent is given for standard
tuning. (If you're in C# tuning, the intro is just 5 and 0 on the bottom string back and forth).
