Below is a list of artists (mostly guitar players/bands) using Eb tuning (which corresponds to a A-412Hz base), featuring Robert Johnson as one of the earlier adopter, and, of course, Hendrix. Sure that this kind of tune both gives a different color to the sound, makes guitars easier to play, and makes it harder for all the people at 440 to cover your songs :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E%E2%99%AD_tuning Gaël On 18/11/2012 01:22, Ben Edwards wrote: > I think it's like a warble quality that Roger Waters also has.
