The high bass A tuning with added chromatic
strings produced this interesting instrumental.
The Chromatic strings are F# and D.
It sounds like pedal steel but does not
have the transition flow between chords.
It takes an 8 string guitar to get this
and an effective palm blocking right hand.
An original composition that softly flows
along. Maybe I should have called it that?

Thanks fellas for the feedback.
I am going to expand on the above by adding
an F# on top which will give me a 9 string
tuning as follows high to low:
F#--D--B--E--C#--A--E--C#--A
That will allow me the 1, 1V, and V7 along with
all those pretty chromatic sounds at any fret.
If I get mixed up I can just play the bottom 6
or A Major and what I remember from my beginner years.
