Guitar Tuning

alternate tunings are a great way to refresh your view of the instrument. Tunings rearrange the ease of certain chords and harmonies over others, suggesting different melodies and chord patterns. Changing tuning is a great way to start writing a new song if you are stuck.

Standard

E - A - D - G - B - E

Drop D

D - A - D - G - B - E

Common rock tuning. Jeff Tweedy uses it a surprising amount.

DADGAD

D - A - D - G - A - D

Common blues tuning

Open G

D - G - D - G - B - D

Open D

D - A - D - F# - A - D

Terminal Paradise

D - A - D - F# - G - D This creates really pretty wholetone and semitone relationships between strings... Picking becomes a way of making melodies.

UFOF

C - G - C - G - G - G
