Alternate Tunings :
So do you guys use any alternate tunings? If so, do you retune a standard tuned guitar for just a song, or keep a second guitar on hand already tuned that way?
Which tunings do you like?.
I’ve used drop D, which is relatively easy to retune to (one string). But some of the other ones take a bit more time.
And of course when I do retune, I always start the next song having forgotten to retune to standard.
I believe everyone should have a couple of six strings laying around just so one can be tuned differently. I think stuff like drop D is cool for easy back and fourth tuning, it's nice to have a dedicated guitar and IMHO even much better to have a specialty set of strings just for that tuning. I'm also a believer in cheap guitars too, so that helps.
I have a Nashville strung guitar that's a 3/4 and it's really cool to play. I also have a B-B baritone that's a lot of fun because the strings are slinkier than a standard guitar.
