What are some of your favorite alt guitar tunings? #guitar #GearSquad #musician
@ambergrey to be honest I think I never changed the tuning of my guitar, except maybe the very rare occasion when I went drop D for some specific heavier song. I'm just too used to the standard tuning (with its advantages and its challenges) to feel comfortable learning new fingerings and positions that are pretty much muscular memory for me by now. I've struggled with the ukulele for the same reason 😂

@lminiero I love how you’ve put this. Regular tuning really has advantages and challenges. There are times when I miss the freedom of piano to have any note anytime. Or even lever harp, which is the same but more limited than piano. But the limits of guitar add a complexity that is just enticing enough… the puzzle is irresistible 
@ambergrey oh piano is a different beast... I took piano lessons for a while and still couldn't do it! 😅 Too hard for me to have different brains in the two hands, which is something that's much easier to go around on guitar instead. If you can play both I'm really envious!
@lminiero I find piano to be …not easier, but more straightforward. But Youre right, I agree about the two minds in the hands. I’d prefer to have more brain space available to sing instead, most of the time
