Thanks Char:

There is no end to this guy's genius which extends far beyond his songwriting abilities. He is always very humble about his guitar skills but his intricate style of fingerpicking and use of chord progressions is pretty much unmatched.

High String Tuning is also referred to as Nashville Tuning. Make sure you listen to Red Shea's work on "Ode to Big Blue" and if you are looking for an inexpensive alternative, pick up a Martin Backpacker and set it up for Nashville Tuning. I saw a used one on the Martin Forum for $85 and that's how I strung up my Backpacker.
