I "invented" a tuning recently. Got a song coming along in it. It's basically open D so:
DAGF# but then you leave the top two strings as normal B and E. It's really easy to make a big booming open D sound and fuck about with little riffs on the top two strings and when you barre all the strings (barre ALL the strings!) at the 5th fret for the 4 you get this weirdly retro-jazzy major 6th sounding things going on which immediately puts me in mind of M. Ward channeling Merle Travis. Figured out a couple of simple fingerings for the 5 and 6m and I'm away.
