hey all. I finally am proud to say that i have 2 accoustic guitars now. Ive decided to keep one of them tuned down 1/2 step beacuse im a huge mason jennings fan..and 98% of his stuff is tuned this way. question now being::::: can anyone give me any other songs (accoustic origin) that are in the same tuning?


my influences may include
Dave matthews and DMB
jack Johnson
Mason jennings
ween
ben harper
pink floyd
jason mraz
rolling stones
the who
marvin gaye
etc etc etc

...so this means...send me anything... but im not particular to the hardest of the hard rock or death metal...but some metallica or acdc that could be done on an accoustic would be cool!!!!


im rambling...send away!
and thx

if you're a big ben harper fan, you might want to just keep it a full step down and just keep a capo on first fret till you need to play some harper.

I used to play Knockin' On Heaven's Door tuned 1/2 step down. 'Twas quality.

Just play anything you might play in standard. A lot of people (myself included) generally like to have their guitars tuned lower than standard pitch. Mason Jennings probably is one of them. Unless you're playing along with a recording or something where you need exact matching pitch, just treat it as any relative-tuned guitar.
