He's a decent guitar player, def. not on the level of Steve Vai or Joe Satriani though. I'd say Joe's probably one of the best I've ever heard play, especially since he taught Steve Vai.
All in all it seems like the same standard drop-c tuning that I like to play in, as does most big metal bands out there. I'm sure with the notes in front of me and a week's time I could probably learn that.

yes i know its alternate tuning but its still hard to keep the rythem and play like that. he has some other badass songs too. one of my guitars have been tuned to this for the last couple weeks.
