    Here's a better lesson video of this song. Many complaints of the bad camera angle so I corrected it and made a better version of this video.

      @@mikemoman of course my friend. See I knew I wasn't the only one lol. As soon as I figured out he was tuned to an open C I knew there'd be a lot of people confused. I've always been really good at figuring out how to recreate stuff as I've been the Gilmour in a Pink Floyd tribute band for about 13 years. I've gotten good at working until I really figure it out lol. I knew these videos would help. Appreciate you watching my videos man

    Completely addicted to SWJ (after discovering him a month or so ago). Cannot get enough of it. Sending to everyone I know. Was just sitting here starting to work out actual tuning (after playing some 'approximations') and came across your vid. Thank you for working this out and sharing with us.

    Sorry--2nd response. Thank you so much for sharing this. Can you share the part (maybe I missed it) in the 2nd verse when he says "I'm a song" and he holds it and plays an awesome chord progression through--hopefully you know which part I'm talking about. That's the part of the song that hits me in the gut the most (as if the whole song doesn't do that, lol)

    Hi man. Good stuff !! I was listening to your info on the downtuning. It sounds like your saying : C, G, C, d, G, C. But i realised that your d (G string) is down to a E. Thank for the all the info. If you would do a full step by step course (with a clear view of the string) I would listen for sure.

    At the beginning of the video when you say the g-string are you referring to what would be the standard tuning g-string or the string that is tuned to G? Very grateful for your video I just can't tell what strings you are playing as far as your left hand is concerned. But props for the rendition to me it sounds spot-on and I know swj version very well

After I start the lesson I'm referring to the standard tuned string. I know that's confusing but it's tough when I don't have the open C memorized in my head.

I don't have a stand of which I can put my phone higher. I do realize that the camera isn't a horrible position but didn't have a way to make it better so it is what it is. I did get one today though because of this comment. I tried to step through what the frets are and much of it is all in the same fret in this tuning so totally get why my video isn't that friendly.
