Last night I was experimenting with CCCB#BA#

CECED#D is cool too.

(I like the descending of the three higher strings. just bar the top three and introduce the bottom three for ear peircing duhtduhtduhtduhtduht every once in a while.)

Also, ostrich tuning is great for drones

B# is enharmonic to C.

Are you referring to B natural? Just B natural, man.

nope B sharp.

It doesn't necessarily make musical sense, but it sounds cool. The top three string are where its at, the rest are just noisey filler

in my older band, i made up all the tunings. my favorite was:

G C D A# A E

Right now my guitar is tuned to this:
(G = low E(in Pitch) string)
G (1.5 tones up not 4.5 down) A D B B E

I found two tunings that I wrote down on a piece of paper, here they are:

E C A C A E

and:

C A A C A E
(C = low E(in Pitch) string)

A few days ago I tuned my E strings down a half-step - the guitar was in standard. Not that creative, but it seems useful if you're already trying to make things sound a little off-tune or evil-circus-like (not in a Juggalo sense, though).

I mostly play bass and I can barley play guitar in standard tuning but there is one I've used. It's not all the weird but I left a guitar like this for months because I didn't feel like changing it back. You put the high E on top, then the low E and everything in normal order on down after that, ADGB. You get this extra, sort of beeping note when you're playing rhythm parts.

It features in a lot of Archers of Loaf's Icky Mettle. Try playing "Wrong" and you'll see.
