-Full Force Galesburg
-Transcribed by Jon A.
-Tuning: DADGAD, capo 1
-Notes on the tuning: On the record, the guitar is tuned a half-step sharp of DADGAD. (The strings from low to high are Eb/Bb/Eb/Ab/Bb/Eb.)
-The easiest way to get into this tuning is get your guitar in DADGAD (tune the B string and both E strings down a whole step) and put a capo on
-the first fret.
-I don't know if John uses a capo on the record, but it's easier on your guitar to tune three strings down than to tune three strings down
-and three strings up.
-For what it's worth, in the recording of the only time this was played live,
-John's guitar was tuned down a half step for the entirety of the show, so when
-he tuned down to play this song it was actually a half step lower than DADGAD (and a whole step lower than the record).
-All chords written relative to the capo.
