Tom Quayle tunes all 4ths.
Robert Fripp likes tuning in 5ths. There are a lot of players that tune to a different intervallic system but it's usually to get a specific sound or task. As Todd mentioned though - not for beginners. A lot of things are gonna be more difficult, like chords. You tune that B string to a C and now what you going to do with your high E? Leave it or continue with the 4ths? Think about what that does to a simple open D or G chord. There's a really good reason the guitar is tuned as it is - four 4ths and one major 3rd. It evolved over a couple of hundred years. The better you get, the more you'll see the genius of it. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Another fine suggestion. If a second guitar is available, tune it however you like and experiment
