Drop D (DADGBE) is probably the most common, and easiest, altered tuning since nothing changes for strings 1-5. Power chord on the 6-4 and interesting bass runs on the 6.

Celtic (DADGAD) is a power chord player's delight and more open ringing tonic and dominant strings when playing in the people's key of D. A bit awkward for other chords.

Open G (DGDGBD) is basically the most common banjo tuning so a banjo player could play a guitar without knowing how to play a guitar. I'm resisting that urge because I want to be an actual guitarist.

As for the piece that you linked, I don't even dream of playing something like that. Good grief!
