DADGAD been enjoing it for 2 months now

If you get in the mood to try something else, CGDGAD is really cool.

 

Go to my website. There is a tune called Highland Jig that I think you will like. It's in DADGAD tuning. I love DADGAD!

 

DADGAD always sounds too pretty to me for some reason. I love open G (DGDGBD) and I do a lot in CGCGCE which is really dark and skanky when done right.

 

Open tunings are great. Now for some real fun grab a slide and a capo!

DADGAD is one of my favorite tunings. Although recently I've been messing with B F# C# F# A# D#.

 

i tuned my dano that way to keep me from playing the same stuff every time i pick it up. i like it.

 

another cool one is CGCGAD - example:

Very, very nice.
But don't be reminding people about this tuning. Let's keep it as much to ourselves as we can.

I really love alternate tunings. My faves are Double-Drop D & DGCGCD.
The lower C tunings are great also.

 

yep, +1

Bensusan is the absolute master of this tuning. He doesn't use anything else. Such a fabulous musician.
