what tuning is overcome in?

Re: what tuning is overcome in?
 

Yep...Drop B, same for "Full Circle" as well.

Careful, calling it "Drop B" can be misleading...

If you want to get technical, it would be called "Drop D, tuned down 1 1/2 steps," where you're tuning down the whole guitar then de-tuning the top string an additional step.

"Drop B" means you're only de-tuning the low E string, like with Broken Wings, Come to Life, Before Tomorrow Comes, etc.

Straight from the Blackbird tab book:

Coming Home
Drop D tuning, down 1 1/2 steps:
B-F#-B-E-G#-C#

Come To Life
Drop B tuning, down 1/2 step:
Bb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb

i know. but i was refering to the 1 1/2 step drop b.big fan of the other though.

Re: what tuning is overcome in?
 

I gotcha, but that tuning isn't called drop B at all..."drop B" refers to a completely different tuning.

Anyway no biggie. I got confused by the exact same thing a couple weeks ago while trying to pick up Overcome, so I just wanted to clarify for any hangers-on and spare them that confusion :)
