Most of the time i just play in drop D.....but id like to explore and see what other different tunings i like .... does anyone have any suggestions on which ones they like...also how to put it in the tuning(im just a beginner)..Thanx everyone
Check out Open Tuning Part I and Part II. Open G is probably the most common open tuning.
Well we all shine on--like the moon and the stars and the sun.

Depends what style of music you are into really. Heavy metal can go to drop C or B, if you are thinking along the same lines as drop D.
Somnium Dulcis.
I use Open E quite a bit (for fingerstyle blues), and Open G and Dropped D. When I got into Joni Mitchell stuff, she opened up a whole new world of alternate tunings! :D
Here are a few of the tunings I use..............
(Read these as beginning with Low E string and ending with High E.)
Std Standard tuning, EADGBE
Drop D DADGBE, "Dropped D"
Open C CGCGCE
Open D DADF#AD
Open G DGDGBD
Open E EBEG#BE (can be played as Open D, capo 2)
G minor GBbDGBbD
Hope that helps!
