Ralph Mooney’s tuning on his GFI

Post by tom anderson »

This video shows Ralph playing his GFI in St Louis.on some songs he looks to be playing the front neck and some the back but both sound E-9 to me. Does anyone have his tunings and pedal setup for this guitar? https://youtu.be/BrbM8ycpmOc

Ralph's tuning was very individualistic, some pedals only moved one string and he often played with both feet on the pedals. He normally played using the rear neck, front neck he sometimes tuned to a modified 'Dobro' tuning. His complete copedant (at that time) is listed in the back of the instruction book written by Winnie Winston and Bill Keith.
