(OT) Re: Alternate Guitar Tunings
Howdy,
One tuning that I use ALL OF THE TIME . . . and seldom see on any charts
(exactly) for one reason or another is:
C,G,D,G,B,D
Or raise it a half step:
C#,G#,D#,G#,C,D#
I's just like open G (or open G# if raised a half step) but with a Sus 4
on the bottom.
There are a lot of tunings on those charts that will have 5 out of the 6
strings like mine but differ by just one string.
I love the ready dissonance that's always available between the bass
string and the 5th string.
That's what I've used for about a dozen years now (or some transposed
variant thereof).
Just thought I'd pipe in with my 2 cents.
Cheers,
Ted
