Topic: Delia's gone Eric Bibb

[geoffemm]

I really want to be able to play Eric Bibb's version, as on the album 'Painting Signs', but I' can't work out the tuning he uses. Anyone know what it is?

Thanks

Geoff, I played a brief sample off amazon. I reckon Eric's in standard tuning, capo 6 (or barred at 6, sample was too short to give it away), playing out of an E position. In other words an 'E blues' in the key of B flat courtesy of the capo. I may well be wrong, the sample was very short. Good picker by the way, I hadn't heard Eric B before.
