Half Step Down Tuning for the whole song, but the intro is technically using E#. We fix this by playing in Eb with the second fret held down. Here's a video if you are confused on how to play it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcQb8yVkulM.Was this info helpful?

Difficulty:	intermediate
Tuning:	Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
Capo:	2nd fret

[Intro]
 
*Not Really a capo, hold down the second fret on the C# with one hand and tap all of the notes with your
other hand, pulling off to the 2nd fret.

How to play

Why not just do it on the high e string this is just a harder way to play it... Joe Satriani has been seen playing it on the high e string. I even have video footage from G3 of him doing it on the high e string.
