Soulwax - Conversation Intercom (live acoustic) Transcribed by Dan Lea. It's in an open B tuning (or whatever you want to call it) as shown. You don't actually need to detune the low E and A strings since you don't actually play either of them, but it'd certainly sound better if you do detune the A string (as shown) so that if you hit it by accident it won't sound crap. This is simply a general guide... play it how you want.
