Anyone know what tunings Paul uses on:
The Other Side of This Life
Volunteers
Have You Seen The Stars Tonight
Thanks!

AFAIK, all are std tunings except "Stars".Think that may be a dropped D tuning.Remember, Kantner and Crosby are close buds,and share a lot of musical influences.

Thanks, you could be right. I have photos and video of Paul playing those songs and he just seems to be in "other places" with "other shapes."
Yeah, he and Crosby were close once. Still?
However, Crosby also admits that once he fell in love with Joni Mitchell he went alternate tuning crazy. Don't think Paul ever went that far.

Oh well, perhaps I'll get the chance to ask him when he comes through town next month.
