See http://www.taropatch.net/tunings.htm for other tunings. Taro patch is DGDGBD. From standard (EADGBE), you're dropping the 1st (smallest), 5th & 6th strings one whole step.

For taro patch (1st string is smallest):

 [D] 6th String: 5th fret is same as 5th string open (6/5 = 5/0)
 [G] 5th String: 7th fret is same as 4th string open (5/7 = 4/0)
*[D] 4th String: 5th fret is same as 3rd string open (4/5 = 3/0)
*[G] 3rd String: 4th fret is same as 2nd string open (3/4 = 2/0)
*[B] 2nd String: 3rd fret is same as 1st string open (2/3 = 1/0)
 [D] 1st String
* = Same as standard (EADGBE) tuning

My goal is to be able to play as well as people think I can.
