Guitar Info:

Standard tuning is okay, but not great.
Open E Tuning (E,B,E,G#,B,E)
1. Low E remains the same
2. A changes to become a B (7th fret on E string as reference point).
3. Next tune your D string up to E (Use your Low E as a reference point).
4. Next your G string needs to be sharpened to G#.
5. Remaining strings (E and B remain the same)
The chords are named so you can use standard tuning if you prefer (but it's not as good).
G |000000|
C |020100|
D |040300| In standard tuning you could play |054020| (it's better than |000232|
Em |020400|
