    I had my acoustic guitar tuned to DADGAD (tried DADF#AD but couldn't connect with it) for over 10 weeks - I had intended to keep it that way until I had written a new song using it - that's the only way I've done it in the past but this time I've given up and put it back into standard tuning - it's a relief TBH. I decided I need to buy another guitar and to keep one of them for working with non-standard tunings.

      Not tried it - happy to try it though as my strings are ancient - and the tuning isn't too drastic in terms of tension. I thought I'd try something different for a change - see if it would open some new doors and get me to write something - there's a bit of desperation involved. I realised there are new worlds to explore. The more I stuck it out with DADGAD the more I learned about what I could do with it so I think with open G or any tuning - I'll have to give it some time - right now I need a break in standard tuning before I try it. It was a good way to force myself to play more fingerstyle. I really need another acoustic though.

      One of my acoustics spent a long time in Dropped D. Then went to open G but with a lower D string too. 
      It's currently in BEBEAB. I like a nice low drone note. :D

      In the past I have left one guitar tuned Open E for some amateur ambient noodling or sloppy slide guitar 😊
