Welp, with the new album out, I hope the tabbing begins soon! Looks like we've already got Vampira, and I'm working on Let it Roll...

I was just wondering, though, if someone in the band could start us off by at least giving us the tunings for each song...after that I think we can make some progress.

Y'ALL READY TO TAB?!? :shock:

I think Devin said on the DVD that all songs but one were in GCGCGCE. That other one would be Vampira I guess.
Although I'm not sure acoustic stuff like Let it roll and Vampolka are in that same tuning.

Let It Roll, Vampolka and Vampira are most likely in standard E, all the other songs are with the 7-stringer LTD in GCGCGCE

Let it Roll has to be in open C at least, maybe with the G...it's pretty much a C as the root for most of the song, and you can hear all the open strings being played.

Everything is in the open C tuning unless its 7 string stuff then it would include the low G. Vampolka, Vampira, and Sunshine and Happiness are all in standard tuning. Good luck! :wink:

Brian, don't you use the low g on pretty much all the (other than standard) tunes?

Let It Roll is in CGCGCE tuning (the GCGCGCE is CGCGCE for 7-strings...) - What do I know, but it sure sounds pretty close to me! :D :wink:

I seem to remember Devin said on the DVD that they only used the 7-string LTD SC607 for recording the downtuned songs on the album.
