Tuning for Steve's steel on Going For The One

[style0]

Does anyone know for sure what tuning Steve uses? I've had success with E A E A C# E but that might not be it exactly.

Try E B E G# B E

Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure I did read somewhere that Steve uses regular tuning on one neck (E A D G B E) and the open E tuning I suggested (E B E G# B E) on the other neck. I'm not sure which neck has which tuning though.

I read somewhere that it was the E major tuning. But as you say, there are two necks so I'm not sure which one it was.

(He might have only used one neck in the song)

Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried several tunings going by what Steve has said in books and on his web page. Some work, some don't. I'll figure it out eventually. Maybe one day Steve will say exactly what tunings he has used for various songs. Time to go play some steel.

The tuning is open E major: E B E G# B E, low to high.
