Sim Sala Bim Fleet Foxes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sim Sala Bim - Fleet Foxes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuning: CGCCGA# Cappo on 5th fret I originally started notating the song in open C when I realized he plays the A# (the highest note in the into) on the 12th fret, which changes the rest of the tuning. Also I have a feeling instead of an E for the G string as in open C tuning, he probably tunes to another C. There's no name for this tuning really, but strummed open its a C7 chord. Open C7 tuning if you like. Thanks to Travmann777 for the helpful advice. Let me know how this sounds and if there's any corrections you think could be made.

This is close, but it's difficult to isolate Pecknold's exact playing with the electric guitar and mandolin playing similar but different and louder variations over him.
