There are three notes... and the second string doesn't change... Even I don't need a memory aid for that one!

I was thinking the same thing. All one needs to know is the three notes that make up a G chord and then tune the strings to whatever is closest. For me, a mnemonic over-complicates it.

Why? Is DGDGBD (the way it's changed from EADGBE) really that difficult to remember?

I assume he wants to remember on the fly while he's playing. Not just when he changes the tuning.

Right, if you are just memorizing a few tunings, straight up is fine, but I'm just getting too many re-tunings.

OK I can see if you're juggling several different ones, some quick way of characterising them would help. Personally I think I'd try and see them in terms of chord, key or mode relationships - eg, DADGAD is sometimes called "modal D" (but of course "dadgad" is easy enough to remember on its own). YMMV.

The Hawaiians call this tuning "taro patch" and it is widely used for slack-key. All of the notes held as part of the regular G chord are tuned down by one whole step, so your normal G chord shape has to be moved up by two frets -- held at frets 4-5 instead of fret 2-3. I don't use a mnemonic otherwise.

Well then it's time to start thinking in scale degrees instead of note names...
