EBEF#BE tuning.

distressed_romeo · 10-04-2007, 05:34 AM

I discovered this recently via a Guitar Player interview (can't remember the guy's name unfortunately). It's been quite a revelation, as it has the same sort of logic as DADGAD, which makes it really easy to learn if you're familiar with that tuning, but has a much brighter, harp-like sound, and the higher string tension makes it awesome for slide playing.

Cool, would be nice to try that with flat wounds.

Well now that your expecting it, it's not fun any more.

Hmm, never tried that one, but I've messed with E B E A B E and E B E E B E with unison middle strings. I bet the F# makes for some jangly add nine type chords.

As far as slide, I really liked Hawaiian Slack-key tunings, like D G D F# B D, or fifths/thirds tunings like C G D F# A C.

That would be an interesting sound, especially with a clean amp and some chorus...

Years ago I came up with the stupid idea of using tunings that spelled words, and the only usable one I came up with was D A D D E E. You can do some pretty amazing stuff with that one, actually.

One of the first songs I recorded by myself was in D A D A D D tuning. That's two words, though.

Man, you know, I don't mess with tunings as much as I used to. Might have something to do with the fact that I used to listen to a lot of Led Zeppelin, Crosby Stills and Nash, and Soundgarden. I don't listen to any of those bands very much now.

I'm not familiar with either tuning.
Any chords you have that maybe I could mess around with?
