Alternate tunings?

These all sound like fun. I've been having a great time with
AEAGBD

yeah I just tuned my lowest three strings to drop A. It's fun, but not as much fun as

BF#BF#BC#
or
BF#BGAC#

This thread has inspired me to go back to Placebo tuning on my Dot (my main songwriting guitar), and its gonna stay that way for a while. Goddamn it sounds kickass. Anyone I jam with is just going to have to deal :joy:

Might wanna watch yourself. My Dot can't hold anything but Standard.

I've never really tried alternate tunings, but then again I'm just trying to get my bearings with standard. Just noodling around is great, but I worry that if I try an alternate tuning my over-a-year-old-stock-with-guitar strings will break.

Any good tuning recommendations for mournful minor phrasings?

I like C standard, DADGAD, Open G, and B standard. I kinda wanna mess around with Nashville tuning (all strings an octave up), but I don't think my guitar or my strings could handle that.

Haha, it's probably just as bad as it sounds, but I still want to fool around with it. That and G standard :rock:

it's actually very pretty. i've tried it on a guitar, sounds kinda like a mandolin or something. not tinny. i'd probably use it more to fill in a sound instead of being a solo instrument, obv.
