Greasy Coat is an uptempo, cross-tuned (AEAE), old timey tune in the key of A. It has a ton of grit and growl to it and is tons of fun to play. Be sure to tune your G and D strings up a whole step so that you are in AEAE tuning. Although it sounds really difficult, it is actually fairly easy to play, so it's good for beginning and intermediate players as well as advanced players.
