I didn't see the point of using an open tuning for something that could be just as easily done in regular tuning. Also I find that sometimes tunings will "suggest" things to you, really because they just shift the possibilities - some things become easier, somethings become more difficult.
Agreed. While I was a bit sad that I didn't come out with anything too "different" sounding, I'm not sure how I could play those chords in standard tuning. I find my whole approach and touch on my guitar changes when I'm using DADGAD...definitely an area I want to explore further.

Thanks for the crit! Initially thought about using just the acoustic track, without any lead, since I quite liked the way it sounded. But for my own development I figured I needed to do something more than just what was comfortable. I hear you though, and I think if I take that particular piece further I might try something a bit more subtle for the lead and see what that goes: give the chords more room to breath on their own.
