I think that open tunings are a trap really because it's really hard not to sound like an open tuning when your using one and that gets old as well as what you learn in one open tuning is going to stay there.

I noticed on the fahey website the tuning for sunflower river blues is CGCGCE and on the tab it is open D yet i figured it out in open C and it sounds right to me.
I think Leo has a point but i find it easy to create weird riffs/songs that dont sound ope
