As I've said before, I'm tuned to Polvo "Celebrate the new Dark Age"/"Today's Active Lifestyles"-era tuning (check my thread on Today's Active Lifestyles if you wanna know what that tuning is), but it's went out of tune a little bit and sounds great. It DIDN'T sound great, though, until I used some heavy gauged Ernie Ball strings for my guitar; good strings can make a TON of difference.
I really actually like playing in standard, it sounds very nice... but yeah, it really doesn't matter what tuning you play in; even in standard, you're probably going to be a LITTLE out of tune if you don't constantly check with a tuner every 15 minutes of guitar torture.. just go with whatever sounds good.. I use a whammy bar a lot, so I'm constantly tuning up or down a slight notch..
This doesn't really go here but fuck it. Would banjo strings sound very good on an electric guitar? Obviously it wouldn't have the authentic banjo sound, but would it even be worth doing before I splurge and buy some banjo strings?...
