Silenced Fred Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I been playing this tuning a lot the last couple of days. Do you guys keep a guitar tuned in an alternate tuning? Used to keep my Strat in a slide tuning, don't do that too much now though. It was fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I don't keep any guitar permanently tunes to an open tuning. But I do tune to Open G occasionally. I love the way it's so easy to go between the 1 and 4 chord. Another good open tuning is E, but it puts so much stress on the neck, I usually tune it to the shape of an E chord, but down 1 or 2 steps to E flat or D. Little Martha is a great song to play in that tuning. [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heymisterk Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Two of my faves in Open G for acoustic, my primary weapon: [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] "Daughter" is interesting because the low E is tuned to a G instead of a a D...very cool.

craigh Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I been playing this tuning a lot the last couple of days. Do you guys keep a guitar tuned in an alternate tuning? Another good reason to have more than 1 guitar. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmiJAMM Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Usually keep my $hit tuned 1/2 a step down just 'cause it all sounds totally awesome that way, or sometimes in drop D for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
