Not exactly what you're saying, but made me think of a time when once, in a guitar shop, the clerk was playing really cool sounds on the guitar. She was playing in Hawaiian Slack-Key tuning [0]. She said Europeans had left behind guitars after "discovering" the islands. The natives then developed their own way of tuning and playing them, outside of the European styles. Here's a random link to a song in the style I'm talking about [1]. 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slack-key_guitar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slack-key_guitar 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbqEffI9LQs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbqEffI9LQs
