 NOTES: This list is nothing more than a best guess at this point. I
 don't no actually know how to play any of the songs that are not marked
 as being at Olga. Some of these are marked with a ? which means I really
 am best guessing and some are not which means I'm fairly certain but
 could still be wrong. It's impossible to tell until the song is actually
 figured out cos some of the tunings (DADGDFand DADGAF# for instance)
 are so similar to each other. Hopefully in the future this list can be
 corrected and eventually most Drake songs actually figured out (someday!).
 6th and 5th strings: 7th fret note (6th string) with open note (5th string)
 5th and 4th strings: 5th fret note (5th string) and open note (4th
 string) plus the 5th fret harmonic (5th string) and 7th fret harmonic
 (4th string)
 4th and 3rd strings: 5th fret note (4th string) and open note (3rd
 string) plus the 5th and 7th harmonics as in the string before.
 3rd and 2nd strings: 7th fret note (3rd string) and 2nd string open note.
 2nd and 1st strings: 4th fret note (2nd string) and 1st string open note.
 Some double checking techniques:
 3rd and 1st strings: the open third string should be the same as the 1st
 fret note of the first string.
 Obviously, make sure all three C strings sound good together.
 The 12th fret harmonic on the 6th string should sound good with the open
 note of the second string.
 Once you're in CGCFCE, getting to CGCFCF is a piece of cake- just tune
 the first string up one, by comparing it with the open third string.
