A Major tuning. Same intervals as “G dobro”, a whole step higher. I think this tuning was called "A High bass" back in the early days of Hawaiian steel guitar. Lots of hammer-on and pull-offs in this one.

Thanks for listening.

That was cool Doug. Heard some Tremlo in there I believe, sounded really good.

Very nice Doug, as usual. I have an old Sears Home Study Course for Hawaiian Guitar, copyright 1938, by Nick Manoloff. The course covers playing on 6 string flat top acoustic steel guitar. The tuning was: E C# A E C# A (H-L). Nick called the tuning Octave, High Bass, Orchestra, or DOUBLE A MAJOR CHORD TUNING in the course.
