Most of my odd tunings are D something

Drop D

DADGBE

Open d is pretty nice

DADF#AD

open Dmin

DADFAD (much the same, really sad sounding)

and:

D Suspended

DADGAD

(all low to high)

Re: Guitar Tunings?

Try tuning down all the strings one step to DGCFAD to play "yesterday" by the Beatles in the key of G (actually F in the new tuning). Its sounds wonderful in the lower tuning - gorgeous bass run downs and so forth, and it's not too difficult. It's one of the nicest songs to play I've ever encountered. TAB is in here somewhere!

Re: Guitar Tunings?

i tune my dobro to open "e" instaed of "g" two reasons,1 my dobro is a round neck (less strain on the neck)  2 and it helps  learn barr chords on my guitar
