I was wrong. The notes of standard tuning can be arranged into chords. There's this really cool link where you can find chord shapes in any tuning and chord names for any chords:
http://guitar.to/ The chord name finder there gives these possibilities for EADGBE (standard tuning) D9 sus4 6th Em 11th G6/9 A11 Bm aug5 7th sus4 I don't think standard tuning sounds bad, but I have never seen a song where the open strings of standard tuning were used as one of the chords. My musical experience is rather limited, though. With all the music out there, I'm sure there must be more than a few songs where it is used. Marian Vienna
