Alternate Tunings

Printer friendlyPrinter friendly

These are high quality versions that I have found on the net. Most have been compiled from multiple sources to get a version that I feel is very accurate. In the course of formatting, some files had the transcriber's name removed. I apologize for this.

Please report broken links to me and feel free to send other alt-tuned songs that are not listed.

String saving tips

  • unless recording, I play Open-E tuned songs in Open-D with a CAPO on the II
  • songs transcribed down four half-steps can usually be played by rearranging the piece with CAPO I, and in (E A D F# B E) tuning
  • some tough tunings on the guitar are EEEEBE, DDDDDD
