It's in A, with the guitar tuned down a couple of steps. It's not in Open G. It's standard tuning tuned down. Anyone who thinks Ernie Hawkins is "lame" needs to go back to Jr. High School. We're lucky to have Ernie to pass on his deep knowledge of the blues to us. He's a great player and a great teacher.

I can't imagine why he doesn't call the strings by what they're really tuned down to, DGCFAD. The piece IS in "G." It's fingered as if it were in A, BUT A is not a fingering it's a 440 beats per second. If you play this with a sax player, or a pianist, or a bass player, or harmonica "A" is gonna be wrong. But, it's not in "open G" either.
