With two guitarists you can get massive sounding open chords
if one of them tunes down a whole-step and plays, say, open D
while the standard-tuned guitar plays an open C chord.
More practical for recording than live, but it's a great, shimmering sound.
I think Robert Quine and Lou Reed may have done a bit of that on The Blue Mask.
