I was pleased to discover that the mighty Chris Cornell and his fellow Soundgardeners have used open C on 'Head Down' from 'Superunknown.' Anyway this is my first posting so don't bite my head off if the transcription isn't 100% accurate. tuning (low to high) : CACGCE fig 1 fig 2 fig 3 E--1/2\1p0-0----1/2\1p0-0- |------------------|-12xx12-12-12-| C----------0------------0- | --7-6b-0-5-5h7-0-|-12xx12-12-12-| G--1/2\1p0-0----1/2\1p0-0- | -----------------|-12xx12-12-12-| C--------------------------|------------------|--------------| A--------------------------|------------------|--------------| C--------------------------|-0----------------|--------------| fig 4 fig 5 E--------------------------- | ---------------- | C--------------------------- | ---------------- | G--5-7-8-7h8-8-7-1-1h3p1-0---| ---------------- | C--------------------------- | ---------------- | A--------------------------- | --3333-33-333--- | C--------------------------- | --5555-55-555--- | ^^^^ ^^ ^v^ repeat figs 2,3 & 4 three times then play fig 5 to lead into vocals ( fig 5 can also be played as an F in standard tuning) fig 6 I see that smile . . .
