Best tuning in the world - C9 tuning!!!! This is (from the bottom) CGCGCD and could be classified as the nic jones tuning, basicly. I discovered this tuning when I was sixteen and ever since have found it hilarious watching grown men attempting "cana-dee-i-o" in standard and getting thier fingers in knots. Even now (at the ripe old age of 20) I still get startled looks from people staring at the fretboard. Just try it in C9 and you'll see what I mean.... Also try "Billy don't you weep for me" and ANYTHING by Nick Harper and you'll be hooked.
