The first four are standard butr the last two are each a tone higher. Ity's more fun that way. I studied this technique just after he exploded in the early '80s, it's a marvelous way to play but it removes the band from teh picture, and I wasn;t so into that at the time. I might have to revisit now. He tunes his instrumentws differently, in fourths, like this: E, A, D, G, C, F. The first four are standard butr the last two are each a tone higher.
