Any thoughts on which open tuning Myles used for In Stride?
Sounds like a D Major tuning. Now I wouldn't know what exactly the strings are tuned to because I never play in open tunings, but I'm gonna guess D A D F# A D
You are correct! Someone asked Myles on an instagram post and he replied!
I saw that! Believe it or not, I've only heard about 30 seconds of the song, but I already guessed the tuning right!
P.S. I thought Myles said he never responds to Instagram comments?

On Ghost Of Days Gone By, Words Darker Than Their Wings, and You Will Be Remembered Myles is Drop C#.
I can confirm Ghost Of Days Gone By and Words Darker Than Their Wings, since for those songs Myles plays the orange PRS with the Les Paul shape, which is his Drop C# guitar. I have not heard You Will Be Remembered yet.

By the way I'm assuming your talking about Myles using the black tele which he also uses on Cry Of Achilles and Ghost Of Days Gone By which are all in different tunings. Either he's retuning or playing differently than the albums.
It's easy enough for him to tune the E string up from C# to Eb for Cry Of Achilles, and it seems like we concluded that Ghost Of Days Gone By is in Drop C# for Myles.

I'm going to try my hand at guessing the tunings for the songs I've heard from Walk The Sky. If I say a tuning that we've already established, don't mind it. I'm just confirming what seems to be popular opinion.
Wouldn't You Rather - Drop C. Whenever they play it live, they go straight from that song into Isolation, which is in Drop C.
In The Deep - Myles is in Drop C# because he plays the Drop C# Telecaster live. However, there's an obvious low G#, so Mark could be in any weird tuning.
Godspeed - Standard Eb. There are a few times when it sounds like they're playing a low B, but it's probably an illusion from playing a C (concert B) power chord with low G (concert F#) added.
Native Son - Drop C#.
Take The Crown - Drop C#.
Pay No Mind - Drop C#.
Forever Falling - It's obvious that there are low C# notes all over the song, but we haven't established whether it's Drop C# or Standard C#. Based on live performances, it seems like Mark is playing a droning E note in the intro, which suggests Standard C#. Also, he's playing power chord shapes that match with a standard tuning. Myles is playing the Drop C# Telecaster again, so he must be in Drop C#.
Clear Horizon - Standard D.
Walking On The Sky - Someone mentioned hearing a droning Eb note during the guitar solo. It's actually an F note I think. I also hear low D notes in the chorus, but that also may be an illusion like it is in Godspeed. I'm going to agree for now that it's in Standard Eb.
Dying Light - There's a droning F# in the intro, which is played by Myles. I'm going to go with Open F# minor, but I don't know what the B string is tuned to.
I wish they didn't have to play in a lot of weird tunings.
