I'd like to start a category page on weeniepedia covering all the different tunings, and how to get into them. This would allow us to assemble generalized, comprehensive tuning info and link to it easily from other weeniepedia pages and category pages, without continually reexplaining a tuning in short form.
I'm by no means an expert in this area, particularly once it gets away from big 4, Spanish, Vestapol, Drop-D, and Bentonia minor. Lately I've been exploring Half Spanish.
So since it's always good to link weeniepedia items back to a forum thread, and the forum creates such a good channel for collecting info, I thought I'd start a topic devoted to tunings, in the round.
What other tuning are there in the country blues genre and its near relatives, who used them, and on what songs? If you have some good chord shapes, particularly the I, IV, V, II, VI, VII etc, and moveable shapes, to throw into the mix, fabulous. Tunings sometimes have multiple names, c.f. Spanish / Open G / Open A, be sure to mention them.
