I’ve really been enjoying this tuning, especially for major and minor blues jamming. However, I find myself torn between two different inversions.
FCFACE and FAFACE

The first inversion gives a nice power chord on the bottom 3 strings.
The second inversion gives me the root twice, for the F major AND for the A minor.

I’d like to know the thoughts of the SGF hive mind. Thoughts?

Power chord on the bottom is nice. You can always retune the 5th string to use both tunings.

Absolutely!

In the meantime, I’m finding the FAFACE version more to my liking. Seems neither here nor there for major keys, but having the second, lower, A string makes a big difference in minor keys.
