Open C Tuning
Helo there,
Just a quick word considering open C tuning. I believe it may have first been used by Jimmy Page on a song from physical graffiti called " Bron-Yr- Aur " . I know that he established the tunings DADGAD and DADGBD in the mainstreamn but these were certainly not first used by Page as Davey Graham is the earliset person i am aware used them. However, there is a chance either Page or Graham were the "inventors" of open C tuning.
Great site!
Mike
Thanks for nice comments and information on Open-C. I Actually thought
that Open-C was older, but I do not know.
I am posting this reply to my question and comments blog at

Open C tuning used long before Page and his crew.
Check the tune Rockport Sunday by Tom Rush of New England folk music.
He wrote that way back in 1962.
Olav.. Olav... where have you gone? Are you still interested in updating the site?
It is truly an amazing website and should be a landmark for all web-literate guitarists...
I do hope you haven't abandoned this little project... But, if you have, I just wanted to thank you for the site, because it inspired to methodically reapproach my guitar playing, and for that I am truly greatful.
