Re: what tuning is overcome in?
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

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
