Well, again, there's nothing original in the notion that you'll get a fuller 
sound with open tunings.   His playing sounds great in those songs, I agree; 
but I would still say you're over-rating him; I don't think this is the feat 
you think it is.   Open tunings, stereo amps, kick up the reverb, lots of things 
you can do easily enough to fill out your sound.
