James Bay interview: Dropped guitar tuning on Epiphone Century 

Mick is everywhere!

Been playing in D Standard for a long, long time; just sounded right to me, and I think I had heard back then that Lou Reed favored it.Even going down another half step starts to really change the whole instrument, besides creating some technical adjustment needs .I do that, but on guitars chosen for the task .

So cool, a lot of artists do this lower tuning but many don't realize it. I myself found the full step down more comfortable after borrowing the idea from bands like The Gaslight Anthem and Ryan Adams on some live performances.

That riff at 1:07, damn.

Cool

I also have an Epiphone, a hollowbody, but i've been practicing on a classical guitar. I need to pkay the Epiphone, lol

Mick!

Maybe he should try a few curls with his guitar!

So he tunes down a whole step - D?

Jennifer Love Hewitt male version

12s?? on a semi hollow? insane

whaz the one on his hand it's not his signature

of course the bends are easier with a d tuning

Not going to lie but d tuning is awesome

it's not like Placebo so cool :)
