Correct me if wrong, but Eb tuning is just standard EADGBE with every string lowered by half a tone As you unquoted me so well: When you tune in DADGAD (Led Zeppelin) or other open tunings, the intervals across strings change. If you just transpose every string by the same amount, there is no significant change in microtuning (intervals) apart from inharmonicity changes caused by less or more stiffness of the strings (same effect changing string gauge).

Hm, I wonder if that was also what I was saying? The micro tuning is caused by the placement of the frets on the neck in relation to the length of the string and the intonation of how high the from the frets the strings are adjusted. Physically that will of course not change just by retuning the open string's pitch but the same mechanical issues will happen to other notes of the scale; because after re-tuning the same notes will have to be played at a different fret positions. So in a musical sense re-tuning open strings does change the micro tuning. How about that approach? Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.perboysen.com http://www.youtube.com/perboysen
