Drop 31 Riffs
What I've always liked about the tunings is that you can use similar fingerings as you would in standard tuning, but interesting dissonances happen, and you can incorporate them without dismissing them out of hand. I've noticed that a lot of the music that I've written with the tunings tends to sound like XTC, In fact, Andy Partridge uses alternate tunings. They give the music an interesting “wrongness”.
This one is actually more fitting with the Frank entry. Instant metal/prog (the notes at the 7th and 12th frets are harmonics).
Note at the 7th fret on the F# string (C#) is held while plucking the harmonic at the 5th fret (D) on the D string (a b9)
