I have six guitars would like at least two more electrics and another resonator and at least 3 more acoustics and a mandolin. See my wife has a hobby which has more ongoing costs than mine which I encourage she has several fish tanks with tropical fish the largest tank holds 1300ltrs so the power costs of running that are quite big, hence I get my guitars...AndyT wrote:I only have four. I'd have about three times that many if I wasn't married. There are days... LOL!You guys have multiple guitars? Ohoooo... riches...
Alternate Tunings and Playing With Others

Looking at the other part of the original thread .. I got invited to play in a band for a concert to be played in our town square in a couple of months. I might just do it too for a bit of fun. But I doubt we will play anything in alternate tunings. I'll keep you posted about this concert.

Yes. The notes for the G chord (for example) are the same no matter what tuning you're in. However, the notes may be arranged differently with an alternate tuning. For example, someone plays a G chord in standard tuning the root is on the sixth string, the third is on the fifth string and the open second string, etc. In an open G tuning G chord the root is now on the third string, the third is only on the open second string, etc.If you have EEEEEE tuning (I know, its not a real tuning, example) and I'm in standard, if we both play a G chord, does it sound ok? Do they go together?
