CGDFAC Double Drop C Sus2 - Guitar tuning, chords & scales
Description - Double Drop C Sus2
Wide fifths spacing on the low strings - tighter thirds spacing on the higher strings. Basically double drop D with string 4 raised a full step (DAEGBD), and then transposed down another full step to C.
The spacing of fifths on the low strings is great for simple chords: strings 4, 5, and 6 form a one finger Sus2 chord which also allows for easy access to power chords, and major and minor triads.
Strings 1-4 form a Minor Dominant 7 - giving access to the common 7th chord types all the way up the neck. The tighter spacing on the high end also makes for easy arpeggios and scale runs.
Lots of easy open position chords available too - particularly some beautiful 9 chords!
I find this tuning is superb for all sorts of genres: Stoner/Doom, Alternative/Grunge, Blues/Rock, Surf, through to Folk, Classical, and Jazz. I am surprised it it not more common, as I honestly have come to eve
