The bright lights? Richard got his wish in this studio.

Is he playing in an open C tuning here? It sounds like he is tuning his 6th string to C at the start...

[@patrickcrowling-soloacoust9734]

He is, but they must have edited the video with the intro to another song. You can see in the fingerpicking parts that he's definitely got his bottom two strings tuned to D and G.

Typically tunes to C G D G B D for this one

@@patrickcrowling-soloacoust9734 Look carefully, you'll see for example at 2:33 he's wrapping his thumb to bring that sixth string up to a D.
