The other day I stumbled upon what seems to be an easier way to play 
SALAMANDER.  It's not quite open tuning, but at least you don't have to do 
that F-C-F-C-F-C thing.  I'm not going to go crazy with the details, but 
this 
is what I came up with.  Listen to the record for the rhythm.  Drop the low 
E 
string down to D, and then capo at the 3rd(?) fret. 
  

Opens kinda like this, with finger-picking... 
e-|------------------------------------ 
B-|----3----3-3-3---------------3------ 
G-|----2----2-2-2---------------2------ 
D-|--0-0----0-0-0-------0h3---0-0------ 
A-|------------------0h3--------------- 
D-|------------------------------------repeat a few times 

                     ^Play around with this with second finger. 

Then something like this... 
e-|--5--5-6--5-5--5--5-6--5-5--5--5-6--5-5--5--5-6--5-5--- 
B-|--6--6-6--6-6--6--6-6--6-6--6--6-6--6-6--6--6-6--6-6---

                         ^Repeat from here. 

That's all I know so far.  You can probably figure out the rest from here.
