I am sure I could make a few up, but 40 or 50 functional ones might be quite a stretch
Oh, there's a ton of formal ways to tune your guitar. I had them all memorized at one point.
Technically, there's pretty much infinite ways to tune your guitar - just that most of 'em are going to suck.
Here's a partial list:
https://stringjoy.com/guide-guitar-tunings-standard-alternate-open-drop-tunings/
It's incomplete. It doesn't include things like Iommi tuning.
cool, I might try some of them out, but I know in the past when ever I tried alternative tunings I would just transpose the songs I already know
There are more than are on the page, but that's a pretty decent list. I doubt there's a truly complete list out there.
Maybe a Sunday Night Guitar Thread on NewVoat® will do the trick? I'm not sure if is up for archiving more than one thread per week and a lot of it would probably be duplicated.
