If I did bother to figure out the tuning again, I would repeat the same mistake: I wouldn't note down my tuning.

The song sounded great to me though!

I've made a guide with chords of Curtis Mayfield «Black Keys» Open F# Guitar tuning.
Available as PDF/ePub/Online.
Please take look. :roll:]]> Slide and Alternate tunings doit https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/curtis-mayfields-black-keys-tuning/#post-387733 Curtis Mayfield's "Black Keys" Tuning https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/curtis-mayfields-black-keys-tuning/#post-10333 Sun, 17 Jul 2005 05:44:43 +0000 (each a "black key" on the piano, low to high, or any tuning relative to that. Cool tuning; I used to tune a flat-top acoustic guitar to F-A-C-F-A-F (the same, but down a half-step), or E-G#-B-E-G#-E (down a whole-step).

Anybody here ever try that one, or its relative tunings?

It's been years, but I used that tuning to play a piece of my own that I called "The Haunted Water-Clock", that I can only recall parts of. I did that a lot, using too many alternate tunings and not documenting the fingerings of different tunes that were dependent upon them (or the tunings, for that matter) and forgetting a lot of them over time... Anybody else ever do that?]]> Slide and Alternate tunings Caevan O'Sh!te https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/curtis-mayfields-black-keys-tuning/#post-10333
