    *Guitar tuning* of Blake Mills on *“Suchlike Horses”* is twofold:
    · 0:03 The foreplay section is played with _Open E:_ [ *E B E G# B e* ].
    · 2:16 The camera angle cuts, the song begins, and a new tuning appears, _Standard,_ almost: [ *E A D F B e* ].
    On top of this, there is the octaver effect sending everything up 1 octave.

      by the looks of his hand the intro is some open E and later when he starts singing he must switchat some point to that tuning with the pedal they're using or some other device. Pretty seamless 🤯

      ​@@federicoblotta3127 You are absolutely right, and I edited my initial comment! I think the switch at 2:16 is just the good old video editing trick of cutting out the awkward break where they re-tune before continuing the song :P

      They’re using the GP10. Wonderful device that can do a lot of things, including doing different tunings through MIDI (without you having to retune the guitar) So since it sounds more processed in the beginning, my guess is that the guitar is tuned to the tuning at 2:16 but processed to sound like open E in the beginning.

      @@PlayLikeTheGreatscom You're welcome! Can't be a 100 % sure it's correct, but I think that's what it is. You can see Blake switch at the transistion. He's also using it to blend in octaves during "Unsingable" and stuff. Pretty cool!

    "Unsingable" - with the fretless - is absolutely absurd!

    Cheers! I had seen the name but never heard this guy before.
    With his masculine, yet vulnerable voice, and willingness to experiment with textural guitar, he reminds me a lot of the late great legendary John Martyn.
