Recently, I posted information about different tunings.

Feel free to write if you have any questions.

Enjoy your practice, Keni Lee

 

ADF#, derived from the open D tuning D(ADF#)ad.      Gce, derived from a C major tuning common in the Carribean, gGccEe, usually using three sets of paired strings,as with the Cuban tres guitar, but here trimmed downed to three strings.     DGd/Dgd, a form of open D tuning encountered in Asia and the Middle East.     Also, you might try a "drone" tuning: Daa, Cgg, AEe, Ebb,GDD, etc...
Clockwork, thanks for the info. I'll try them out. the drone tuning's sound interesting.

in the last few days I have started to pay some CBGs in tunings a few tones flatter than normal to give a fat and warm sound.

 

Thanks for the hit,I'll experiment.
