ok McGrath, I'll give that tuning a try.
Although, what I like about GDAD is, that it's a nice tuning for chords and, it's not tooooooo far from mandolin tuning that I have to rethink my tunes so much.
mooh, I've also got a guitar shaped zouk! (carved top, Graham McDonald),,,what country is
Joshua from?
I don't play GDAD beause it's a 'quick fix', (mando tuning would be much better for me),,, I just like the sound of it.
ps::::::I believe it's possible to do amazing things in ANY tuning, (standard included) it's just a matter of preference.
