  / A Case of You  /  some on although they have major troubles. "I am as
 / Blue           /  constant as the northern star" is a quotation from
/________________/  Shakespeare's play, Julius Caesar. Caesar says it, and it

Tuning: D# G# C# G# G# D#
To help you recognize this tuning, it's really just E A D A A E (where you
tune the G-string up to an A and the B-string down to that same A), and then
drop all the strings a half step. I think it'd be called a "G#sus4-tuning"
or a "C#sus2-tuning".
There's also a 2nd Guitar playing in standard tuning with a capo on the
