Deconstructing "Little Wing" (video)

After seeing the other deconstruction, I thought I'd take a look at "Little Wing" for the same thing.  I may have seen it once before, not sure.  He's very thorough.






I'm not going to do it as I won't detune the guitar for it.  The tune is in Eb but the guitar is tuned down a half-step to get to it.  I don't like doing that and I don't like capos, for largely the same reason.  There is some coolness in going beyond Drop D in which you only drop the E string to a D and instead tune the guitar to a D chord.  You can do some whoop de do slide that way.

A nice plus from tuning down is strings are easier to bend.  It's kind of a cheesy way to do it but, hey, it works.
