Are there like endless open tunings for guitar? I thot there can only be a certain number of keys so thats it, each one is a tuning, but it looks like there a lot of other variations. Can there be a tuning that isnt in any key? Like regular tuning isnt any key is it?

Hi Kevin - I think your question is "are there tunings that don't give a straight major or minor chord when played open?" If that is what you mean the answer is - yes - lot's.

Hi Kevin,
You can play slide in numerous tunings, each creating a different chord, or you can play slide in normal tuning. My personal preference almost every time is to play in open tunings.
To begin with I would not advise you to worry too much about more than a couple of tunings. Go with D tuning DADF#AD and with G tuning DGDGBD. Most blues and country tunes can be played using these two types of tuning.
You also asked about slides....you have to try 'em out for yourself and see what feels right.
Shine On,
Michael.

This thread reminds me of a question I have had for awhile. Is there any hard-and-fast rule for dropping from a major tuning to the minor in that same key?
