Hey all, it sounds to me like Max Allard is using alternate string tunings in his tune September Spider. I’m hoping someone with a better ear than I have can help me figure out what his strings are tuned to.

It’s a very beautiful tune with some interesting chords and harmonies. I think the string tunings he uses really opens up some fun possibilities.
Let me know what you think.

This is where I’d start. He seems to use a double b flat tuning often, Similar to the tuning Bela used on Blue mtn hop. Super cool super full sound!
