Neil Young - Ohio
Based on the live acoustic version from the Live at Massey Hall recording.
Tuning: This is where everyone seems to go wrong when making tabs of Neil's songs
as he uses abnormal tunings. He frequently will use double drop D tuning,
by simply dropping the two E strings to D.
Opening: In this version he is constantly picking the higher strings and adding in bass
This is just an overview, listen to the song for the finer details.

If you listen to Massey Hall the song is very definitely double drop D tuning. It's not standard, it's not just one string dropped, it's both E strings down to D.

the only way to tune for this and get the full effect is double drop D. Listen to the 4 way street album if you are wondering.

why do you have your tuning listed as standard but tell us to go drop d
