UNPLANNED DOWNTIME: 12th Oct 23:45
Steve Miller - Come on into my Kitchen (tuning/instrument????)
What's Hot
We question..
Was just trying to familiarise myself with Come on into my kitchen, for someone who comes to band jam to sing, which Steve sings and by sounds of plays on a 12 string. However he looks and sounds like he is playing at bottom of fretboard but different versions I have listened to sound like they are in C or B or similar keys (certainly higher than A).
So I ask the question is he playing it on a diff key shorted scale instrument or is he using an unusual open tuning? Changed pitch on some strings? If I am just being silly and he is just playing normal tuning, give me a couple of pointers in what he is playing on intro to get us started
Thanks

It's a Robert Johnson tune originally - open tunings FTW ! (G or E)

Old thread, I know, but just to say on the album version from the Joker this is basically in standard tuning on a 12 string, but all strings dropped a 3rd to make this B E A D F# B.
Kind of standard 1-4-5 thing, with usual blues licks. The 5th chord is basically a standard B7 shape with the little finger removed (B11, I guess?).
Hope that helps, and get some heavy guage strings on if you want to try!
Cheers,
Rick.
