Tuning E and A string to B

Iamnobody

I’ve learnt The Letter recently by PJ Harvey - it seems as shame to tune for one song...

Can anyone recommend tunes in the same BBDGBE tuning that are worth learning?

Thanks in advance.

Bollocks - how did that happen. Now moved from classifieds to a more appropriate sub forum.

Yes I’ll trade my inexperience for someone else’s experience...

Do you use Standard Gauge strings for this?
I imagine you tune the E string down 6 semitones and the A string up 2?

I was going to recommend the Pitch Key but it doesn't have enough range.

Thanks for the reply.

11’s on a junior. Yes take the E down and the B up. 

The pitch key key looks useful for people who play a lot of drop D stuff. I’ve never heard of it until now.

I don’t have too much of a problem adjusting the tuning - it’s just a new tuning for me and wondered if there were any other songs that utilised it.

Not quite but close; keep the A string on A and you can play Rusty Cage by Soundgarden. Dropped B.
