Anyone who has an android phone or tablet should have this app.

you can set your own tunings and store them. then look up scales or reverse look up chords shapes you play in that tuning and it will help you figure out what you're playing, which can help develop a cool riff into a song.

I've used this shit tons since I bought it.

Totes rad :cool:

Excellent choice on the bump good sir. I think I already posted this one but I still absolutely love the tuning:
F#A E G#C#B

It has basically become my standard tuning. Damn... I should start changing my tuning more often again.

Also open C is a fucking beautiful tuning.

This sounds really interesting. I'll have to try it soon.

My standard tuning has been C G C Eb G D for the past few months. I love it.

I use standard most of the time! But I have a song in open D, plus that's fun to mess around. My favorite tunings, though, are when you take standard, pick a string, and tune it down a step. I have a few songs with the B string down to A, and then a few songs with the A string down to G. Sometimes they make chords sound even beautifuller. And sometimes they make chords awful! But the best is to find new chords to play!
