A friend on another forum suggested I try out Open D# next. What's the tuning and which string or strings do I tune differently?
Just Open D with every string tuned up a half step. Not a different tuning, just a bit higher pitch.
Open D being DADF#AD, it would then be D#A#D#GA#D#. Nuisance to type it out.
Open E again is the same tuning pitched a bit higher. EBEAbBE
Learn something in one of those tunings, and it plays exactly the same in all. It's just in a new key because all the strings are retuned.

Ok,thanks.A capo it is!
You might also try calling it by its real name: Eb tuning.
Calling it D# means the notes in the key are:
D#-E#-Fx (F-double sharp)-G#-A#-B#-Cx-D#
It's a lot easier to name them
Eb-F-G-A-Bb-C-D-Eb
