I can still play the other stuff in "normal tuning". I seem to be stuck in c sharp cos I like the timbre on my belly. U are first I have found who uses two strings the same next to each other. Sweet for the picking. I also moved to nylon strings. Great to hear u

And the biggest reason, is Adrianne’s guitar playing. She is SO GOOD, this video is inspiring just getting this insight into how her musical brain works. At some point (if she isn’t already) she will reach that legendary status of guitar players. This video is amazing.

Being an unknown musician with hardly any audience, I don't have the budget for multiple guitars for live work and don't want to change tunings between every piece (or funds for lots of new string sets as this sort of tuning kills strings quickly) - so rather than lots of alt tunings I use a partial capo a lot. In a similar fashion, it's helped me write over 60 or so pieces of music I probably wouldn't have without it. At least 50% of my repertoire uses it.

@@ChopAndBrew I use a G7th Newport 3-string partial capo. There are many places you could place it on the neck but what works for me mostly is holding an Esus4 chord down i.e. 0-2-2-2-0-0 low to high. It effectively gives you a sort of whole tone lifted DADGAD base - a simple example of which would be one of my you tube videos (kzitem.info/news/bejne/maNpp3qKjXqpgHY) - although a better quality audio would be on my bandcamp/spotify etc

Does Adrianne read these comments? Anyhow, great intro to what some regard as guitar's Secret Dimension! I love Bill Sethares' book, which is about 93 pages, and he is very thorough going through songwriters up until about the mid-80s. I love the whole family of dropped Ds, Dsus opens (which, I discovered, Yvette Young from Covet uses) etc, and a while ago started playing CGDGDD, which is pretty wild and a heavier gauge is recommended. But it's fantastic for that high chime, and you can work a range of flavors into the GDG. And what was I searching for? Turning the strings til it sounded cool... and mis-remembering something I'd heard from Adam Franklin which turned out to be GCDGCD. Yep, that one's weird, and beautiful in it's own special way...

Sometimes just knowing the tuning is all you need to learn a song. Not a lot just forever another great one, and my angel is a great closer to the songs and instrumentals album. That song I believe is open D but don't tune down the B string, and capo on the 2nd fret.
