Open C tuning on an acoustic twelve-string.

For some reason Open C's ended up becoming my standard tuning on my acoustic twelve, augmented with my newly-purchased capo for different keys. I have no idea why, but it just seems to sing on a twelve, and it's ridiculously versatile compared to most open tunings. It's pretty much the only tuning I use on my fretless these days too...

I originally got the idea from a John Butler lesson in GT (which also gave me some awesome ideas for drumming on the guitar).

Nothing like a good depressant to chase the blues away!

I love this tuning. I play a lot in standard/Drop-D, but I spend almost equal time in:
