Well, one well known example was Brian Wilson on the Beach Boys album "Pet Sounds" done in (I think) 1966. Tri-chords were tune with one string on, one +6 cents and one -6 cents. These are approximate variances since it was tuned aurally. We may or may not agree, but most studio types consider that "THE" standard for production genius, and George Martin credits this album as the model for the remaining Beatles albums. Using revenue generated and copies sold as indicators, it was certainly successful! Danny Moore Houston Chapter
