What tuning does Tyler Childers play in?

“Whitehouse Road” by Tyler Childers. This is a great song in drop-D tuning with a capo on the 5th fret – and it only needs 3 chords!

The song is great – you can hear so much more intricacy in his guitar work (especially compared to the album version, where the guitar is harder to hear).
