    Yes, and if you tune your guitar to DADGAD playing "Small Town" is very easy. I might put up the chord shapes I worked out for this arrangement some time. Open tunings are much easier to play than one might imagine.

    :confused: why would you even go there? It doesn't get any easier in standard...

    Well, I play and write a lot of songs in DADGAD and in fact, it's the tuning my guitars have been in, 95% of the time since about 1990. In fact the chords for "Small Town" in DADGAD involve one or two finger chord shapes. Dead easy. And it sounds right too.

    Okay now post 'em! I'm curious now :D

    95%?! I don't even know how to write a decent song in standard tuning, let alone i alternate tuning. How do you go about that?
