    It's in open D tuning. Same tuning as Oceans. So, from Low to High it'll be DADF#AD.

    i actually dislike this version, nearly 4 seconds in, mike doesn't hit the bend and leaves the intro quite sour.

    and overall, the song is played much better as of the last few years when matt switched from using the tom's during the chorus to just a straight forward beat, making it a better sounding song on an aural/musical perspective.

  • The London Canada one, from 2005, is my fav. I love Stone's Flange on that. The Nuremburg one is great because of how crazy Mike goes, at the end. The 2003 ones seem to have a "messy" feel, with Mike's tone and I love that. 2000's has some good ones, too.

    Yeah. Stone's tuning is weird, but he uses that tuning on stuff like Even Flow and I believe Deep. I'm sure he's used it in other songs. But Mike's is standard.

    NAIS is also Open D. I was unsure about Deep. Thanks for the correct tuning.

    NAIS is NOT Open D, but Open D with a dropped B (lowest string is dropped down to B instead of being a D)
