That sounds like it'll be great. Let us know when you've got a musical demo done with that tuning.![]()
I don't know how well I can play that tuning. I am going to use
E A D G C F Bb, because I am used to 4ths. Also tuning that tuning up a whole step, but in 4ths : F#B E A D G C
The highest open string, C5 (8th fret C on guitar's high E string) sounds like a Mandolin. You could add a low C# string for an 8-string and cover C#2 as the lowest open string (the 3rd fret C# on a Bass guitar's low A string) all the way up to C7 at the highest string's 24 fret.
C#2 F#2 B2 E3 A3 D4 G4 C5- C6 at 12th fret, C7 at 24th fret
Nearly 5 octaves. I will retune the Washburn x27 to this C5 tuning and post another Google clip soon.
