Favourite Alternative Tunings?

[vurt]

i keep meaning to find out the tuning for one finger barre chords, but i havent done it yet

one of these days

Just tune the low E down to D - instant powerchords on bottom 3 strings. Metel...

when you say bottom strings, do you mean the top strings that sound low, or bottom strings that sound high? i dont even have the last two high strings

f**king synthesists!

Also tune the G string (skinniest one you have left on the guitar...) down to an F# as well and you have one finger chords with all strings.

if you ain't bleeding it ain't metal! (death metal specifically not the soft shite like slayer n maiden)

Or Bryan Adams, who puported to have played his, 'first real six string' until his fingers were bleeding. You need to calm down Bri. If it starts hurting, go and do summat else- wash yer denim jacket or something. c**t.

For years I'm using DADGCD. Don't know where it comes from, but the intent is to have a guitar whose open strumming sounds good. If the open strings sounds good together, then it starts good. This thread makes me think that I should also try other alternative tunings.

Cheers.

I'm fond of DADDAD

Similarly (somewhat) I really like DADAAD on acoustic. It is a nice little break from DADGAD and is way open-sounding of course.

All 4ths (C & F at the top), and on a Variax especially 5ths CGDAEB are great when playing methodically ... particularly when you need to shift keys to suit the singers
