One evening dark near Delta Park
Down by Columbia Slough

Open D tuning is a revelation. Drop your guitar to DADF#AD and suddenly everything sounds like a slide blues record.

Black Crowes, Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake — all used alternate tunings extensively.

Milonga is a musical genre from Argentina.

Wahine is an alternate #ukulele tuning, where the C string is tuned down to B, and the A string is tuned down to G. This allows the performer to fret both the tonic and the dominant chords using just one finger.

And this is "Milonga Wahine":
