Iris, by the Goo Goo Dolls

[VooDooXII]

This song has the strangest tuning I've ever seen of any song on guitar...but either way, I'm enjoying myself because I learned it. Not that hard at all...just weird-ass tuning.

How many other guitarists do we have on here?

[Fr33way]

Pity Reply....

Most of their songs have stupid tuning BTW.

tabs=weak. they do help you learn some harder riffs/solos but i prefer to learn by ear

I'd like to learn to play but the times I have tried I just havent had any luck...

[Deke]

Yeah, like Fr33way said, almost all of their songs have ridiculous tuning.

And yeah, I've been playing guitar on and off since the 10th grade. I'm an acoustic fan. I love my Martin DCXE :)

[Oz10]

I play guitar too. Mainly acoustic these days.

and I really like that song too BTW

And a lot of other songs have just...Ds everywhere.

I've got an Epiphone Les Paul, a Takamine G-116, and my friend left an Ibanez acoustic with me for the week.

[Mchnhead2k5]

I can only do TABs as well.

[Deke]

I can't seem to find the exact tab I used back in the day to learn this song. But this one is the similar idea (same tuning).

It's obviously not 100% correct, but the tuning is actually something you can do pretty easily (drop both e's to d's) and I still think it sounds pretty good after you play with it a little bit.

EDIT: Actually, I'm pretty sure this is the one I used.

i don't play, but i am a big fan of acoustic guitars. A couple of my favorite acoustic artists are Antoine Dufour and Andy McKee

Andy McKee is sick. I love "drifting." Reps for you sir :)

Check out Don Ross and Keller Williams if you haven't already. Both are incredible on acoustic, and I don't know about Don Ross, but Keller puts on one hell of a live show.

Also, just in case you've never stumbled across this video, this has got to be one of the most impressive displays of acoustic guitar prowess I've ever seen.
