Six-string or five-string electric basses are now common in pop music, and I wonder how they are tuned. And John Denver is alleged to have used a scordatura tuning for his guitar, allowing him to play figurations that would have been unplayable in normal guitar tuning.
My regular bass player (I'm primarily a jazz player in California) recently got a 5-string bass, and tunes the low string to B. According to him, that's pretty standard.
And Joni Mitchell (and others) have been writing songs where the guitar is re-tuned for a LONG time, in popular (or at least relatively popular) music.
