Exploring Alternate Tunings for Songwriting

Post by GrapeCrusher »

Hey everyone, I’ve been stuck in a bit of a songwriting rut lately and I’m considering trying out some alternate tunings to spark my creativity. I usually stick to standard tuning or drop D, but I’ve heard that different tunings can really change the way you hear chords and melodies. I’m curious what non-standard tunings you guys often use and how they influence your songwriting process. Any specific tunings that have led to some of your best ideas? Would love to hear your experiences!
