How to go about this?

OK, so I was looking at some categories, and I noticed there's one for TUNINGS. This is very uncommon, but artists do sometimes present alternate tunings. Can we post that? And how?

I was thinking we could just put the name "Standard Tuning" (as an example), and a picture like this:

That is an excellent idea. There have been times when I had to search 10 or so websites to get the tuning of a certain song. We could certainly put that info in the guitar submission body for now, but it would rock to see it as additional info under what band they play and such. Would be even better, but longer to create, to have the option to list all the song's they play in which Tunings. For example.

Metalli-wah

E Standard:

No One Else Cares - Exit Grass-Mam - Help Water With Water

Drop D Standard:

Your enemy of Joy - Soda out the Bottle.....uh - Slave to Marionettes - The forgiven -

Z Sharp

Go Away (Aquarium) - Running Life - Whitened

OK, well the picture I used, I think it would serve as a very good standard for tunings, but I don't know how to reproduce that picture, and my knowledge of theory is very weak.

I think it wouldn't hurt as an add-on, but the majority of players in my experience cannot read sheet music. If you tell them the name of the tuning and they are not familiar with it, they can use a tuner or the interwebs to find it.

I myself read sheet music for only a year in middle school and before the end of that year I had already ditched it for the most part.

I remember where B Flat was on a Tuba's sheet, but I couldn't remember where the trombone and baritones were.

yeah, you could use a piano chord type staff notation for a tuning symbol, beats the weak names people come up with for the more esoteric tunings...

I really don't hear anyone every say they use anything really exotic. One guy sold me aguitar in some funky tuning he claims ZZ Top uses, but when I looked up one of their songs it was in Standard.

Nearly every conversation I overhear on tuning I hear 1 of two things. "We play Drop D" or "We play Drop C".
