In The Air Tonight - Phil Collins
Tuning: Dm, E A D G B E
For all the mystery and tension in this tune, it's very simple. When I play it
on keyboards I keep a low "D" depressed throughout the song. (Actually I put a
roll of pennies on the key). I actually play the keyboard and guitar lines at
the same time using a volume pedal on my guitar.
