      It turns out that that's the tuning used by Lou Reed for "Venus in Furs", which upon hearing it, kinda reminded me of "The End", which is another tuning (DADGBD), but same principle :)

    @eladhen2 4 месяца назад

    I've been playing DACEAD for a while now, and it's brilliant. You get easy chord shapes in the low strings with using 1 or 2 fingers, while still having 2-3 fingers free for melodies on the more traditional high strings.

    Ethereal: "This may be the most aptly named of all the tunings on this list." I disagree: CABBAGE is most aptly named. Not only does it spell out the tuning but everything you play in that tuning sounds like cabbage.

      You'd be surprised to know that Lou didn't always use Ostrich; he most of the time used standard guitar tunings. The only times he used Ostrich tuning in VU was at the final seconds of "Venus in Furs" and the whole of the song "All Tomorrow's Parties".

    The tuning from Skinny Love by Bon Iver is one on my favorites:
    e > c
    b < c (same octave as above)
    G - same
    D < E
    A > G
    E > C
    So you end up with C, G, E, G, C, C... a giant, "churchy" c-major chord. It's one of my favorites to mess around in.

    Not sure if you covered this one, but Joe Beck, Frank Gambale, and Pat Metheny have all used a variation of a "Baritone Nashville" tuning. The only differences between the three players is how low or high the tuning is, but the relative tuning between the strings is the same. One example is Metheny's tuning on "Don't Know Why," (watch?v=BntNRMiI4PQ) which is A1-D2-G3-C4-E3-A3. The 3rd & 4th strings are an octave higher than they would normally be (like in Nashville tuning), and the 5th and 6th are an octave down. Super cool tuning for solo stuff, as it has a wide range.
    Craft guitar tuning (if you didn't cover it): C-G-D-A-E-G. All fifths except between 2 and 1. Very wide tuning that's quite versatile. California Guitar Trio.
    My variation of that, plus adding a David Wilcox tuning of C-G-C-G-C-E: C-G-C-G-C-F. Really versatile and great for solo stuff. I play "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" in that tuning.
