I can just never get into these open-tuning songs… They all sound the same to me. They’re pretty, but… I guess I’m just not a “pretty” fan. Anyway, there are lots of people who use these tunings, and pull-off techniques. I think you would also enjoy [Justin King](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-pk4osQ5to) and [Andy McKee](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ddn4MGaS3N4&feature=related). But you might start noticing that they’re all pretty much playing the same song…
