Howdy, this is my first time posting in the musician n gearheads bit, so be gentle :)

I'm sure I read somewhere that Marker has some sort of weird tuning. The verse is playable in standard tuning, but I'm lost when it comes to the chorus and bridge bit. Then again, anything more technical than drop-D tuning has me baffled.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks.

    The tuning you will need for Mike's part of Marker would be (from low to high):

    DGDGCE

    Tune the E down to the D
    Tune A down to the G
    D stays the Same
    G stays the same
    Tune the B up to C
    E stays the same

    Then put a capo over the 3rd fret

    That should help you

    enjoy.
