Changing My Tuning

One thing I've always been intrigued with is alternative guitar tunings. I think Jeff Buckley is my most respected influence in this department, but there are many others. Today while playing my acoustic I very spontaneously changed my tuning to C-A-D-G-B-D, which for those who don't know is quite unconventional. The lowest string is tuned down two tones and the top string down one tone. The following is me just experimenting through some different picking and chordal ideas. I'll refine this down into a song soon I think.

And if you're wondering what the bangs and clangs in the background are it's just my friend Wayne, that I'm staying with in London, doing the dishes.
