Subject: RE: Guitar Tunings
i've never heard blues in dadgad, in open d yes--workd good as well.
however the bacjman refered tunning was ebgbed, very odd looking to me.i may try it. the high b and e would seem to be very high tension. i suppose ya use a few lighter strings.
there was also a wierd irish tunning i've forgotten that was good for playing along with jigs and reels. anyone heard of it?
i have also used two droped d 's, for tune accompanyment. dadgbd. you can get lots of drones and play regular chords in the middle four strings. easy for g and d, and more flexible than dadgad but not as flexible as standard
look up joni mitchell--she used a different tunning almost every song
