Horse With No Name Tuning

Scott57 · September 26th, 2008, 04:21 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought I read somewhere that America's song "Horse With No Name" is in an alternate tuning. I can't find anything to verify this. Any one know if this is true?

Between this and the link that Bob provided, there is plenty to allow you to figure out what you want to do with that song. IT is jsut alittle bit more than a two chord song. You can work some moving bass into it if you want so that the return to Em from the
D/F# moves through the Bm7. Siply playing the B in the bass versus the D changes the chord and you can fall through the A going to the E...if you want.
