@prototypep4 good call. Very cool tuning. For Pink Floyd fans; "Poles Apart" from the 1994 album Division Bell uses the DADGAD tuning.

okay since no one else pointed it out he forgot one that is really common with the G string. leave it as a G and try DADGAd tunning.

i have been trying to "find" alternate tunings by ear. I have discovered that i primarily love D and Dm but i have found a way to get a Dm or D by bringing the (high) e string UP to D. I put a lot of stress on my strings and i break my E alot - but usually it is when i tune down too fast it slips then snaps. I have learned to be very careful. Putting the whole tuning on the high end makes it just sing, I love it.
