This is a tuning I have been experimenting with
on and off for the past few weeks looking for a
country sound with a different twist for Steel.

It is non pedal and uses 8 strings the last of which
are simply the A Major high bass. The chromatic strings on top are D and B.

Any questions/comments welcome.

Hi Howard!

The tuning is not really all that complicated.
High to Low:
D--B--E--C#--A--E--C#--A

I am going to keep it for a while and take some of
the "harshness" off the attack with more practice.

Hope all is well with you and yours these days.

Roy
