: Some of my favorite tunings are the that open A tuning you mentioned. �Try these for inspiration:
: Tune EBEBBE. �The unison strings, tuned just a few cents out of tune for each other provide a nice mountain dulcimer sound without. �Watch for intonation problems though as the G string tuned that high �can feel weird.
: Here's another one. �Detune your E and B strings (the high ones) down a whole step. �Now play your regular chords and see what happens! �neat new chord voicings. (I'm showing off my ignorance with chord voicing theories)
: Here's one if you're into spooky tuning. �Take that fun open D tuning and drop your f# string to an F. �Now use a slide and you get some WEIRD stuff. �I picked this up by listening to David Eugene Edwards of 16 horsepower. �In their early work, he used a lot of this Open Minor tuning stuff.
: Alright, I'm at work...I'd better stop messing around. �Have fun!
