    Has anyone had much look messing about with alternative tunings on guitar

    I was reading up on "ostrich guitar"

    1d
    * downtuned to d (from e to d)
    2d
    * uptuned to d (from B to d)
    3D
    * downtuned to D (from G to D)
    4D
    5D
    * uptuned to D (from A to D)
    6D_
    * downtuned to D_(from E to D_)

    Apparently one of the guitars on Venus In Furs
    and All Tomorrows Parties are played like this.

    I think I'll mess about with it later.

    I've no real understanding of music theory, I guess
    I'll just try a few chord shapes on it.


    Sonic Youth are famous for using the weirdest tunings to get as unique a sound as they can. :D
