    I sometimes use a really easy but weird tuning, EADGBB, the last B is just a little off from the first one to get a dissonant sound, I use it when I’m doing finger picking at Renaissance fairs, gives a sea chanty vibe

      It turns out that that's the tuning used by Lou Reed for "Venus in Furs", which upon hearing it, kinda reminded me of "The End", which is another tuning (DADGBD), but same principle :)

      You'd be surprised to know that Lou didn't always use Ostrich; he most of the time used standard guitar tunings. The only times he used Ostrich tuning in VU was at the final seconds of "Venus in Furs" and the whole of the song "All Tomorrow's Parties".

    Not sure if you covered this one, but Joe Beck, Frank Gambale, and Pat Metheny have all used a variation of a "Baritone Nashville" tuning. The only differences between the three players is how low or high the tuning is, but the relative tuning between the strings is the same. One example is Metheny's tuning on "Don't Know Why," (watch?v=BntNRMiI4PQ) which is A1-D2-G3-C4-E3-A3. The 3rd & 4th strings are an octave higher than they would normally be (like in Nashville tuning), and the 5th and 6th are an octave down. Super cool tuning for solo stuff, as it has a wide range.
    Craft guitar tuning (if you didn't cover it): C-G-D-A-E-G. All fifths except between 2 and 1. Very wide tuning that's quite versatile. California Guitar Trio.
    My variation of that, plus adding a David Wilcox tuning of C-G-C-G-C-E: C-G-C-G-C-F. Really versatile and great for solo stuff. I play "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" in that tuning.

    DAEAEE is a fantastic tuning. This is another tuning provided by Goo Goo Dolls for the song "Name." It's actually a very playable one that I use most often to create acoustic folk style pieces. Tune with caution however as the G is tuned up to A, D is tuned up to E, and the B string is up to E...to create a unison 12 string sound.
