Here's one I've just found that I'm planning to look around today. Tom Loredo's "Acoustic Guitarists' Annotated Guide to the Internet" http://www.museweb.com/ag/ His 'Alternate Tuning Guide for Contemporary Folk Music' is at http://www.museweb.com/ag/technique.html#tunings and includes tunings for songs by the likes of Bob Bennett (any relation, Kate?), Edie Brickell , Jonatha Brooke/The Story, Wendy Bucklew, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Shawn Colvin, Billy Crockett, Ani DiFranco, Kat Eggleston, Bob Franke, Greg Greenway (met Greg at the Folk Alliance in Vancouver - what a nice guy!!), Nanci Griffith, Richie Havens, Michael Hedges, Indigo Girls, Phil Keaggy, Patty Larkin, Mary McCaslin, Billy McLaughlin, Michael McNevin Joni Mitchell (see below), Carrie Newcomer, Ellis Paul, Pierce Pettis, Willy Porter, Chuck Pyle, Dana Robinson, Lynne Saner Martin Sexton, Martin Simpson, Troll For Trout, David Wilcox, Brooks Williams, and Dar Williams Tom Loredo's comments on Joni Mitchell are at: http://www.museweb.com/ag/tunings/fm_tunings.html#JM describing http://www.jmdl.com/guitar/ as "An amazingly well-organized and comprehensive collection of Joni tunings and guitar chords and tab" and suggesting a few other net resources (which he describes as probably less accessible than the above). all the best PaulC
