    I use a tuning that consists of alternating minor and major 3rds, which makes a F#-11 chord. (F#-A-C#-E-G#-B). Learning chords and scales is very easy, and it opens up a lot of possibilities with natural harmonics. I have a dedicated guitar setup just for this.

    DADFCE is gonna give you lots of "extended chords" if you use the regular major/minor shapes we're used to in standard.
    One of my favorite alt tunings is due to Yvette Young, of the band Covet, which is FACGBE, or open Fmaj9. The top 3 strings become triads, obviously, and then the 3 strings naturally lend themselves to extension notes.

    I mainly use Drop C# for most songs I write, but lately, I've been in Drop D, Eb, and D as well. I also love CGDGBD (I think that's it) and DAEFCE

    DADFCE is pretty close to the tuning used by Opeth on "Harlequin Forest" -- but second string is tuned down to A rather than up to C, though. This is mostly for the power chord in the first riff which is played open on the 2nd and 3rd string, swiping back up to come at the bottom strings. It adds a neat little bit of texture.

    so much respect for dropping a Gretsch down to B. I had an electromatic with a bigsby that I tuned down to B. had to use some pretty heavy strings to keep it stable
