My favourite tuning is to line-up all the pegs in a straight line, parallel to the headstock.
Not sure why but it usually sounds better than having all the pegs go perpindicular...

Howdy,
One tuning that I use ALL OF THE TIME . . . and seldom see on any charts
(exactly) for one reason or another is:
C,G,D,G,B,D
Or raise it a half step:
C#,G#,D#,G#,C,D#
I's just like open G (or open G# if raised a half step) but with a Sus 4 on
the bottom.
There are a lot of tunings on those charts that will have 5 out of the 6
strings like mine but differ by just one string.
I love the ready dissonance that's always available between the bass string
and the 5th string.
That's what I've used for about a dozen years now (or some transposed
variant thereof).
Just thought I'd pipe in with my 2 cents.
Cheers,
Ted

and found that it does alternate tunings as well as self tune. It also allows
each string to have its own effects etc... It's worth a look if you
haven't seen it.
