Interesting read (for guitarists)..

This is a great article from the guys at Fender about the various alternate guitar tunings commonly used in rock music. I wasn't aware of most of them myself, apart from the rather nasty sounding 'drop-D' that I learnt in college. Plus, they've also mentioned some of the famous songs associated with each. Sigh, all those hours spent in trying to figure out the tabs for Zeppelin's "Kashmir" on the standard 'EBGDAE' tuning... what a waste of time.
