Any interesting strange tunings out there?

[Roguar BG Cortson]

I enjoy toying with with things that are out of the ordinary on guitar, just made this account figured ill try to locate some new ideas. My favorites: GGCFAD(used by dimebag darrell on the great southern trend kill) and Drop G# (not using a 7 string) got doubts on gettin replys but may as well give it a go what ya guys got?

6 low E strings.

How about A flat? Or modal D?

My band just wrote a song with CADGBE. Basically standard tuning with the low string dropped 2 steps. Kinda cool!

Have at it.

C# G# C# E B E

B F# B E B E

Mattias Eklundh's C#sus4 tuning is fun too: C# G# C# F# G# C#

GCGCGCG and CGCGCCG are pretty interesting tunings which I've used in the past. Take away either the lowest or highest G for the equivalent 6-string tuning

BEDFAE, a lot of range there and I kind of fumbled across it after mixing the tuning Tool used on Parabola, and the tuning used by Opeth on most of Ghost Reveries.

dgdgbe, cgdgbe, cadgbe, I have millions of ideas for tuning that I need to try haha

As the huge Freak Kitchen/Mattias IA Eklundh fan I am, I find it extremely funny to play around and write stuff in either C#sus4 tuning, as mentioned above, or the Bbm13 tuning (same as C#sus4, but with the low C# dropped to a Bb)! Try 'em out!

 

[ImBCRichBitch]

Low E, Low E, Low E, High E, B, High E

 

[MF_Kitten]

7 string tuned to EBEBEBE (loooow E, requires baritone scale).

GDGDGBE is really nice too.

Edit: oh yeah, standard guitar subforum!

AEAEAE is awesome as hell. Completely open and "unbiased"!

Do open C but make it into a drop tuning, not sure what it would be, but you would end up doing a regular chord on the E and A strings, or else it would make you do an opposite one, like fretting 4 on E and 2 on A. Would be retarted and idk if it would even work, I'm a noob at tunings.

 

[Bigfan]

Open C already has the low C "dropped", as there is a fifth between the low C and G.

 

[SkapocalypseNow]

Open Dm, or should I say dadfad.

 

[MetalMike04]

i enjoy, AADGBE, really fun to use

 

[DrakkarTyrannis]

ADAEGB is what I use. Oddly enough both As are the same pitch and the D is the "low string". I don't deny it makes no sense but it does when I'm playing.

CADGBE - I used it in this demo: Lobotomy Party by Dakotak on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free

GBEGBE is kinda seems cool but i have only tried the up to the low g. kind of interesting. very symmetrical.
