There's also that tuning that's really great for Freddie Mercury and Klaus Nomi songs...

For my basses: standard drop C. For guitars: CCCEBB or CGCGCD#. For baritone: standard drop A#

What about high-strung/nashville tuning?

EADGBE, but EADG are all an octave higher than usual (use 12string-type guages). Then play usual chord shapes, but with magical chime to it.
Then chuck away any chorus pedals you own.

Actually, chuck 'em away anyway.

Let me guess - You don't have a feedback looper then? It will turn them magical, if You didn't like chorus effect on its own right.

I messed around with this tuning yesterday and it sounded pretty awesome.

Do you mean F? 'Cause E# isn't in the key of C, nor in any scale that begins with C. That's a sharp 3rd, my friend.

Sorry man, it was a D#...

This tuning is my flavour of the week . I just love finding droney barre chords and riffing on them forever. It feels super lazy but its fun as hell.

I tune to DADG, when I bother to tune.

lately i've been ALLLL about DADGAD. it's so beautiful. i think it's really hard to play something that sounds bad in DADGAD.

Fuck yeah DADGAD. I'm so lame that everytime I use that tuning, I always have to play kashmir

My old (and only) guitar teacher told me that alternate timings were useless, I quit the next lesson.

5 string bass tuned to C-C-F-B flat-E flat. Gives some extra kaboom on the 2 C's.
