Hey, here's something fun -
I was recently shown a neat upside-down tuning for a lefty-strung guitar where you can play regular chord positions right-handed and the chords play backwards (treble strings first). It's a mind-trip!
It's as follows, starting with the high E string: (remember this is a lefty guitar)
High D (down a 5th to) G (down a 5th to) C (up a 4th to) F (down a 6th to) A (down a 5th to) low D
I de-tuned it because that F is a 4th higher than normal and I don't like messing up neck tension.
It really works (don't ask me how), bar chords, everything. Try it if you find a lefty guit sitting around un-messed with.
I think this would work backwards for a Lefty playing a right-handed guitar upside down, too.
But I haven't tried it.
Yet.
