    That's pretty comprehensive Steve !

    You've even got Ostrich Tuning in there - the Lou Reed thing...
    which is also the tuning used on Gary Glitter's Rock and Roll Part 2...(!)
    or to young folks the tune being played when the Joker walks down the stairway here..


    ...she's got Dickie Davies eyes...

    I found these on a piece of paper I wrote down ages ago, not sure where I found them, probably on this forum:

    Pibroch:
    DAAEAE
    CGCGCD
    EADGAD
    FACGBE

    John Martyn:
    CFCCGD

    I don't know if they are all used much

    Wow. That's pretty comprehensive. 

    There is one I've used that's not on there: C#ADEAD. It's useful for playing in A. Or D.

    Amazing! Have you got P4 in D# - E (D# G# C# F# B E)? Ant Law uses that in preference to EADGCF.

    A great job @SteveMcBill!
    You may find this thread of interest: https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/222193/ngd-upside-down-leftie It's my own take on a standard-but-not-standard tuning theme. (I mention it not for your list but just as a curiosity.)

    This is great. When it comes to playing chords is there any corresponding chart or rule of thumb for shapes?
