What are the difference between the various styles of these Guitars? What does each kind sound like? The Gibson Les Paul:.

http://kbm-music.blogspot.com/2012/10/what-are-alternate-tunings.html

Have Guitar Will Travel. Oct 6, 2012. What are Alternate Tunings? I have always felt that being a Guitar Player means you're part of a special club. Guitar is just different.
