    what the shit do you play with that tuning?

    It's a slide tuning. You can't do much with it. Try something less insane like CGCGCE! :D

    I've written a handful of tunes in CGCGCE. They usually end up all droney and hypnotic. Good call senor Carrots.

    You think the Slayer tour is out, or what?

    Nothing wrong with standard tuning, but there are some awesome suspended voicings that are easier to play in altered tunings. Plus it opens you up for some exotic sounds.

    I've used EGDGGD for a few songs that ive written...you can come up with a lot of cool G chord progressions with it. Try it out,...
