Cale, ever since I first heard it, so I thought I'd look up the tab on the internet and give it a go.<br>I have found that its in open F, but every time I try to tune to this I always seem to break strings.<br>Its tuned if I'm right to  F/C/F/A/F  the strings I'm breaking are the first and fifth or high E and A in normal tuning. <br>I'm also slightly concerned about how long I could leave a guitar in this tuning before it causes irreperable strain damage to the neck<br><br>For those of you who don't know it you can watch here <a href="http://www.videocodezone.com/videos/j/jj_cale/crazy_mama.html">http://www.videocodezone.com/videos/j/jj_cale/crazy_mama.html</a>]]></content:encoded>
