The SS.org Tunings Thread

I'm thinking about different (for me) 7-string tuning for my axe:

A E A D F# B E

That would give me B baritone tuning with a high E, along with drop A for power chords. Then for standard tunings I can tune up one or two strings easily instead of down with only a little compromise with string tension.

Thoughts?

A couple of my different tunings for 6 string:
NST (C G D A E G) and ALL 4ths on 6, 7 and 8 strings.
i also like 5/3 on the 7 string:
C G D F A C E

... NST (C G D A E G)

... i also like 5/3 on the 7 string: C G D F A C E

I've been trying to figure out a good 5th/M3rds mix, but this mix of minor and major 3rds is interesting.

For the last few years I’ve been experimenting with tuning 10-40 cents out of key. Honestly, I’ve been really enjoying how it’s been sounding.

Right now I’m tuned to +40c GDGCEAD.

Led Zeppelin?

D G C G C D

I can confirm that virtually any chords or noodling you can do in this tuning will sound like the Rain Song.
