Most bands in the metal and rock scene are moving from dropD then just dropping EVERY string another half step or even a whole step. They both sound way sick / heavy and its really getting big in mainstream metal and rock.

Replace the entire machine heads for $30 or replace the broken one for $6. What is happening is that the gear is sliopping inside which prevents you from tuning it any higher. What you can temporarily do is to lower the remaining strings one tone so that it matches the g-string's F. At least, you can still practice with a lower tuning until you get the replacement key. Eventually, some other keys might give way on your guitar and that is why I suggested to buy trhe entire set. You can even put cheap ones at $19 for the 6 of them , instead of $30.

There are a lot of tunings. Theres drop C and drop B, open D5, C5, B5, E5, open B, C, D, E chords. You can go up a half step and a full step. You can pretty much use any tuning that sounds good to you.

You can try open D, open G, or even open A. If you look at a lot of Goo Goo Dolls songs you'll notice J-Rez uses a lot of non-standard tunings. Just look up some tabs for some of their songs and it'll give you a good starting point.

My favorite is open G- It was popularized by Keith Richards, and many Rolling Stones songs are in open G- it's relatively easy to chord and capo up or down on, and there's a fair amount of material out there in open G- good way to start on alternate tunings... GOOD LUCK!
