Namely, the B string was tuned down to a G. I don't own a pro guitar, but I experimented with my acoustic guitar, following along with a YouTube video of the chart, and IIRC (at least parts of) the solo sounded wrong if played with a standard tuning, but correcting for the tuning down made it okay.

Someone with actual guitar experience could maybe verify.
I played along with Free Bird on standard tuning. You're right that it sounds a little out of tune during one of the solos, but what are we supposed to do? Re-tune mid-song? Also, it was only a short part of the solo (granted I was playing on Medium). Maybe someone else has an opinion?

Also, some updates to the list:

The Police - Don't Stand So Close To Me: changed to D tuning (definitely not Eb tuning)
Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World: F tuning
