No such thing if done well. There are like 3 dozen guitar tracks on “Epic” by Faith No More.
There is the problem.. not sure I know how to do it well
I do have some ideas on how to do some of it, so it's not all walking on top of each other, using different tunings and stuff.
Here is what I am going to try: For the basic rhythm, I'm going to tune my parlor guitar down 1/2 step and play just like in a key of E7, then I'm going to use my Takamine tuned up 1/2 step and play like D7, I have a 3/4 size guitar that is set up for a high strung Nashville tuning, and I will play that tuned down in E7 as well. Acoustic bass tuned down also.
All of the other guitars will also be tuned up or down 1/2 step and played accordingly. And I might try a part that is in a D#A#D#G#A#D# tuning too.
It's a really swampy voodooish sounding thing, so I might be able to make it work out.

Yep !!!
. . . like hearing open (and even alt) tunings thrown into a mix. You made me think Black Queen since you mentioned voodoo dark and Dadgad.
Sure you're going to capo around on a few. Any thoughts on having someone move to 12string or mandolin? They can really open up crowded string sound even going dark. Might even trying them in a diminished scale/chording type mode.
