Full Version: Ahead By A Century - The Real Guitar Tuning - Songbook?

About 20 years ago, I'd spent a summer OD'ing the Trouble At The Henhouse music book and had learned "Ahead By A Century" the proper way. It used some funky tuning like CGCGCD or something like that. I grew tired of having to re-tune every string twice just for one song so I just began cheating on the D like most others. I want to do that song again in that tuning but I can't remember the phrasings..or the exact tuning for that matter.

Does anyone have the original Trouble At The Henhouse songbook that they'd like to sell? Better yet, any Hip songbook? Or the tab would be awesome. I'd really appreciate it.

Many thanks,

David

Open C tuning
C, G, C, G, C, E
Capo 2nd fret - second fret same as open
Dana,

Thanks so much! I knew it was something like that. If I remember correctly, the phrasing was similar to a 7th up in the 7th or 9th fret for the intro. You wouldn't happen to have tab handy...would you?

Thanks again Dana,

David

I cannot scan the pages I have.
Here is Steve Fissel's interpretation:
