String selection for DAD tuning
Hi, I'm struggling to find the best combination of strings for DAD tuning (which really suits my voice) I have tried several combinations with the use of a regular 4th, 5th and 6th string the best to date although the 6th tuned down to D does feel a tad slack....any advice would be much appreciated.

One string washboard bass strung with a black tape wound low B tuned up to G. it sounds better when you tighten up the bass string for slide
I tuned my 4 into a seldom used tuning this morning (DGa#a#) and watched the godfather documentary the double a#a# having a kinda Italian mando sound. its a minor tuning but the double strings give it an interesting twist.
yesterday at the gig i busted a high E string glad i had a spare 4 string to play i tune the high E down to A# and up to E depending on the song
thanks Uncle John
This is a pretty basic intro into Sawmill tuning on a mandolin. There should be some carryover to a guitar tuned the same notes an octave lower. Fun tuning and pretty easy to learn - especially if you play a IVI 3 string.
love DAd tuning . it has a spooky qualty to it. i mostly play 4 strings i keep one in DAda all the time
Simple D-A-d tuning
