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---
G-|--7--7-7--7-7--7--7-7--7-7--7--7-7--7-7--7--7-7--7-7---
D-|--0------------0------------0------------0-------------

                         ^Repeat from here.

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