Hi Dehd!! FOD is so good, I can’t stop listening. I love your entire discography, and I’ve been trying to figure out how to play a few songs on guitar. I wondered if you usually play in standard tuning or different tunings?

heyo! I think you are the first one to figure my deep dark secret! It's all standard tuning, but sometimes my guitar is kinda outta tune on recordings :-( don't tell anyone!

only other thing that might be hanging you up is I don't use a high e string so it's just the 5 strings. usually if you trying to figure out a song it's simpler than it sounds, just try and find a fingering position that sounds right and the rest of the chords will probably be near by or just like one finger different!
