So I've been experimenting with different tunings and wanted to see what you guys like.
I'm currently playing in a D tunning ( D-G-C-F-A-D ) and digging the sound. The PH's are off the hook!
Let me know what you like so I can try it!

Usually standard, but right now I'm tuned down a half step for Sweet Child O' Mine. All of my guitars have floating bridges so I don't detune all that often.
I have 3 guitars in 3 tunings right now
E Standard (E A D G B E)
C Standard (C F B# Eb G C)
Open Dm (D A D F A D)
Open Dm is real run to shred and riff in
My G&L S-500 = Standard Tuning (E A D G B E)
Gibson SG = Drop D (D A D G B E)
Epiphone Korina Flying V = (D G C F A D)
Right now??I have no idea
I've been meaning to try some open tunings lately, so I guess I'll experiment with that a bit starting with open Dm, thanks UC
Currently:
Les Paul - E standard flat
Flying V - Drop D
Bass - Drop C
I like to play alot of metallica so i keep one guitar tuned a whole step down and the other i keep in standard
Mostly I am at E standard but sometime also Eb standard
mainly standard tuning, sometimes just drop the Low E to D on certain songs.
Atm i play a lot of Slipknot songs, that´s why i use drop b tuning which I really adore.
Open D on acoustic(sometimes open C, depends on string thickness)
Standard D on electric.
E standard mostly, on both electric and acoustic.
E standard... Eb standard.. Both with droped tuning on low string.
One time I tuned a guitar in C, standard.
only have one guitar atm. it's usually in standard tuning, sometimes drop d.
when i get another one ill keep one in drop c.
Really just standard...I'll tune down to drop D or whatever if I have to (I have a Floyd Rose). I'm thinking about selling my strat and buying either an Ibanez V or Dave Mustaine Dean, so I will use it for alternate tunings
Standard E or Eb and one that is only Standard D (DGCFAD)
Schecter C1= Standard
Jackon + bass string = 2 steps down
Damien 7 = something.. drop D plus a B on the low 7
Broken warlock in dropped C
standard tune
D#.. partly DROP C# - my favourite tuning:)
hey, thanks to all of you. I wanted to see dif preferences for different styles! I'm going to try alot of yours.

Standard tuning for me
Currently I play in drop D. I would like to get drop C but my guitar has a Floyd Rose bridge, need another guitar
Here are some more i like to use.
Open Cmin7: low-high - C-G-C-G-Bb-Eb
Open Cmaj7: low-high - C-G-C-G-B-E
(Theory experts make sure i have the notes right)
I like to use these for prog metal type stuff, fair amount of thick distortion, a little delay, and some reverb
Standard or Drop D
Standard. Boring, I know.
One in C# standard / Drop B and one in E standard / drop D.
My Les Paul is tuned a half step down, since the vocalist in my band has pretty dark voice, so it suits him better, and my metal guitar (Schecter Damien-6) is tuned in Drop D to get darker sound too.
I just use Dropped D or Standard. I haven't explored the other awesome tunings out there cause I've been to lazy to adjust the floating bridge on my Ibanez
I've current got a guitar in C (In Flames), one in D (not drop d) for Strung Out, and 2 in E for everything else
Gotta say tho, I used to hate C, but it's quite good
I think I might put one in half a step down for some GnR solos....I need to learn some some day
I usually play my guitar open minded
Stay tuned...
I tend to usually tune a half step down, coz I generally like the sound and feel (playing wise).
i play in nothing but Em and dropped D, allthough i tried DADADD yesterday
Standard or Drop D.
Thanks again for all the input guys, I've been taking notes!
I use standard tuning, never really tried anything else I think I should
Standard on my Ibanez - don't like changing on that. Sometimes go Drop D on my acoustic for some country metal
Standard tuning for me.Sometimes I go to dropped-D briefly..
Most of the time standard , unless I will practice a Lavendell lesson or something like that. My guitar does not have a floyd rose but if it had one I would preffer to have another guitar than to change the tunning, how do u guys do it with floyd rose, i believe its very annoing , right ?
Well,
Standard E, and sometimes Eb ( there's just something about that tuning!)
D (DGCFAD)
and C (C F Bb Eb G C), a personal favorite of mine.
standart, have floating tremolo systme on guitar so it´s not easy to move form one tunning to another, remember to set up again your guitar if you change tuning (it changes the whole string tension against the neck)
E standard on the acoustic and the strat
D standard / E standard (swtich between them) on the SG
E standard on the bass
Standard, DGCFAD and CGCFAD
Standard at all times. I rarely use alternate tunings.
I wish I had enough guitars for all the tunings I like!!
I really dig open C major(CGCGCE), C# standard, D standard, Drop C, Drop B, E standard and drop D.
Anything lower than drop B is just too low for me, maybe if I had a better guitar or amp it'd sound good, but it just isn't happening with my current gear. I've tried open Dm and kinda liked it, but didn't really get to play with it as long as I wanted to.
I just like the lower, warmer sound, and the thicker strings I get to use with them feel great in my hands. And I love the fact that I play different in every tuning. Every tuning has different songs I get to coax out of them.
