i don't know but it would make sense. it's very convenient for bluesy stuff.The Doctor wrote:That's what a lot of the old Blues players used, right?
i also like fucking about with DADGBD. if you listen to 'song for george' by eric johnson, it's a good example of the fingerpicking stuff i try to emulate.

You'd probably be cutting your fingers open playing a string gauge needed to accommodate it!Acid Flashbakc wrote:i want to get an 8 and string it up with a high-a string.

I don't know why people get all pissy about tunings. Alternate tunings have existed as long as guitars themselves. Mid 90s Alternative Rock and Late 90s/early 2000s "Nu Metal" didn't INVENT every tuning that isn't EADGBE.Jebodiah wrote:Everyone plays in Drop D nowadays
People have been playing in Dropped D and Open D since the early 1900s. Open C has been used for quite a long time too...

I only use e standard and d standard currently. after playing for many years ive cum to realize its best for me to pick a tuning for each guitar i have and stick with it. Otherwise i won't set it up properly and next thing you know for some reason i stop picking up my guitar cause i'm too lazy to fuss with it

And really the best part isn't even the easy chord to play, but all the weird and cool chords you come up with just fucking around with traditional chord fingerings.
