Hi Kavin, if your new tuning changed the length between the 5th and 6ths fret for instance then, no you could not accomplish this by changing the tuning of the open strings.
On the other hand you can make a small trip into microtonality by retuning the open strings a quarter flat or sharp relative to each other.

Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water turned to stone
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago

It's been a long drought. I've been working on some music for a TV project and other video projects, that stuff's over at soundcloud.com/xenotolerance
Today I realized that I have a responsibility to compose for myself and share my music…

I just decided to upload this one again, as a separate version. It's the same record, but i've re-equalized it and doubled the main guitar an octave up.
A different flavor of the same thing. I hope you like and/or enjoy.

I couldn't resist crossing swords with Alex on this deft song of his which left me quite touchéd!
*Inspired in part at least by accidental meat on meat.*
Here's the original track.
Lyrics:
I’ll stand above this cliff
And offer up my soul
Would there be an end to pain
To jump in to this hole
Could this be goodbye
If there’s a light below me
Will it set me free
Could I fly today
Is this my only option

At a recent charity event held in my small town's train museum, I was admiring a massive brass train bell when the curator walked up to me. I commented that a bell would really rather be heard then seen, and he agreed. I offered to digitally record…
Time for a little humor. I had my wisdom teeth pulled last year, and the pain was debilitating. When I got the right pain meds, I felt so much better that I wrote this song. Colin added his considerable vocal talents and his harmonica and brought…
Furry car tires, I played a Epiphone then, Ice cream grew on trees, then everyone became fanatical about Hummus, I like Hummus but I lost the argument.

Downloaded - because I wish to cut it in to little loop-able pieces, toss it in to the air and see what happens.
A very sweet rambling acoustic improvisation!
Very nice man, little hints and ideas floating all over in this one. I also enjoyed the harmonic slaps in this and the lead runs back and forth p
Acoustic and rambling.....nice improv J

Nice. Glad your back in action here.
Agree with Kirk. Nice ambient piano and use of space, between the notes.
nice raga-esque, eastern feel to this.
like and enjoy indeed!
nice one. Put in my "surrogate band" playlist!
Congrats, nice piece. Had me fooled on first listen, nice faux guitar tone!
a revival with a Lady Black Smith Mambazo ending!
thanks buddy. My daughter has been enjoying your tunes.
Thanks to whomever for bringing this to the fore again. Love Doug's stuff.
My favorite BC song (there are many) and you did it justice.
...I'd take my rod to the sea. (sorry) Great song!
That bass line has an acoustic sound to it, then processed? Cool.
Nice groove there. Shades of Santana without the guitar of course.
I'll keep saying it! Great great song!
What a warm tone, nice job.
Rockin colab yawl. Pass the percodan.
I've given up favoriting all your tracks, I'll just bookmark your page. Amusing comments too.
Are you playing guitar or are these samples? It's ok either way if you dont want to reveal..
Welcome to the party! You've posted some incredibly good stuff!
Wonderful cover of the great ENO. Only 9 listens?
