DAEAEE is a fantastic tuning. This is another tuning provided by Goo Goo Dolls for the song "Name." It's actually a very playable one that I use most often to create acoustic folk style pieces. Tune with caution however as the G is tuned up to A, D is tuned up to E, and the B string is up to E...to create a unison 12 string sound.
