Alternate tunings

[azraelswings]

I've been itching to learn a new tuning recently. I'm particularly interested in learning to play in DADGAD well. However, I'm very open to trying new things.

Anyone know of any sites, songs, groovy chord voicings, etc?

Not sure what type of music you're looking for, but Leo Kottke tabs and tunings are always worthwhile--especially if you are doing any fingerstyle accoustic guitar stuff.

Open G all the way, man. Keith Richards' favorite alt tuning, and it's really fun to play slide in open G. Tune as follows: D G D G B D

Check out Nick Drake. Lots of different tunings and great folk songs to boot. Look at tabs for the album Pink Moon in particular. It's just an acoustic guitar and vocal for the entire album.

Csus6? It's the tuning for Bron Y Aur by Zeppelin anyway.

And quite excellent.
