Drenched In Fear Tuning??

[Rude]

Hello...second post here.

I am learning the song "Drenched in Fear" and I am 99% certain that the tuning for that one is CFA#DGC....but I am confused because that is not quite C tuning (the D should be a D#) but if I tune it to standard C, it isn't even close.

Can anyone tell me if I am right? It sounds spot on, but I always second guess myself.

I think you're right. But you might want to learn a better song.

I'm so lame. It is standard C tuning. I was following a really bad tab....

Hah you mean that they told you the wrong notes?
Yeah most of the time the people who did those tabs on lame sites are just people who picked up an out-of-tune guitar and felt like trying to play a riff they liked.

The funny thing is that it is a lot easier to play it the right way than the way the bad tab had it done. Once I tuned to C standard it was easy to see that the tab was waaaay bad.
