Not been playing all that long so this might be a stupid question but im going to ask it anyway.
Why all the different tunings for the guitar, we learn to play the guitar in standard tuning E A D G B E but as ive been cruising the songs on the site, all the songs ive been watching seem to be tuned to a different configuration which to me is so confusing, wont all the chord shapes change and the scales positions change too.. i guess this is more to do with advanced playing technique which i dont understand yet but as a beginner it dont half confuse the heck out of you...
