~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Crack Up ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tabbed by: Connor O. Date: 03-18-17 Tuning: (FGCD#A#g) F2-G2-C3-D#3-A#3-G3. Internet says the notes spell into a Cm11. So maybe you could call it Open Cm11. I don't know. The tuning FGCD#A#g could be moved up a whole step to GADFCA. Robin's recommended tuning for the album version is GADFAC (FGCD#Ga#). (https://www.instagram.com/p/BU-YDTXjqVd/) You could use this but you'd have to straddle the 5th string. For example at 0:19 you'd have to play [x-x-x-11-x-11] instead of [x-x-x-11-11-x]. These two diagrams show possible tuning paths from standard tuning. 1) FGCD#A#g g-g#-a-a#-b-c-c#-d-d#-e A#-B D#-E-F-F#-G C-C#-D G-G#-A E-F 2) FGCD#Ga# a#-b-c-c#-d-d#-e G-G#-A-A#-B D#-E-F-F#-G C-C#-D G-G#-A E-F The album version is a whole step higher.
