Can anyone share thier approach on playing songs in alternate tuning? Just about everything I want to learn lately is tuned down 1/2 step, whole step, step and a half, drop d, tuned down in drop d blah blah blah.

 I'm sure the answer is constantly re-tune my guitar. I can't afford 8 axes. Anyway, I think that totally sucks and would like some feedback suggestions.

Is it safe on my guitar to constantly re-tune?

 Thanks,

 Rick
