Once the setlist is made, Robinson's tech, Doug Redler, makes notes on what guitar he feels would work best on each song. He takes into account tunings, capos, and what Robinson has previously played on that particular song. Occasionally, Robinson will make changes and other times conflicts arise due to a particular tuning that's needed.
