An alternate tuning for acoustic that I am really into!

I kinda made this up the other day and I don't think that it is a common alternate tuning from what google is telling me :-) (correct me if I am wrong)

But anyway I think it is really ace for folk and stuff give it a try!

    Thanks for that, Antique.

    I'll give it a shot later. I'm all ears for other other tunings after finding this Martin Simpson video.
    There's a second vid that covers his banjo tunings.





    Just wish a guitar per tuning.
    :)

    Jonatha Brooke is a great one for alt.tunings, listed on the right of this page:

    she also uses partial capos with them, which makes for even more fun :)

    I'll try it at some point. A tuning that I really got into some years back (and wrote my best 2 pieces with) was the rather strange BEBEBE. I think Nick Drake used that one.

    I do have a fondness for EADGAD, works beautifully for finger-picking.
