 * Variants and users


 * CGCGCE - used by Justin Hayward (Moody Blues) acoustic guitar on "Question" ("Question of Balance" LP). Also used extensively by John Butler.
 * Devin Townsend (Strapping Young Lad) tunes his guitars to CGCGCE in most of his songs or, when he uses a 7 string guitar, GCGCGCE. From Ki onwards, he started to tune his six string guitars down a half step (BF#BF#BD#) or a whole step (BbFBbFBbD). Townsend has said many times that he got the idea to use this tuning for his own material after learning the song "Friends" by Led Zeppelin


 * CGCFCE - used by Nick Drake in the song Pink Moon.


 * CGCGCE♭ - open C minor tuning, which produces a C minor chord. Used by Laurence Juber on "The Age of Rhythm", from Al Stewart's Between the Wars.


 * CGCE♭GC - open C minor tuning, which produces a C minor chord. Used by Niko Wenner on the Oxbow songs: A Winner Every Time; Time Gentlemen, Time; It's the Giving Not the Taking; etc. Also used by Gojira on the song "The Art of Dying" from The Way of All Flesh (album).
