For some of my pieces I use Eb-Tuning – the bass E is reduced
from E to Eb. I learned this special tuning when playing arrangements
of Roland Dyens.
In quite a lot of other cases I like the Rondena tuning :
E reduced to D, G reduced to F# ( I made a whole CD using just this tuning for brazilian guitar music )
In both tunings I find nice possibilities to play special accords which you
can not do with the standard tuning.

Hey Pfeiffer, I presume by ‘bass E’ you’re talking the low/bass E on guitar not bass? I play bass and do find it useful sometimes to drop my E to the Eb or D less critical on a bass as I don’t play many chords but still helps get some nice sounds and a lower-low is always good. I’m playing around with dropping the G at the minute as I’m up to 4 and 5 fret stretches…which hurts on a bass!
P.s. Was this a reply to the ‘What tunings do you use thread? If so there should be a ‘Post reply’ button at the bottom of the thread so your post will be with all the others (sorry if you know this already, but I just thought I’d say in case you didn’t)
Tim..
