I'd appreciate your thoughts one this one. I set myself the challenge of trying to make Steel Guitar Rag work in B11th tuning. I've changed it multiple times over a few days so this one is just the latest version in progress. B11th is not usually the first tuning you'd think of for this tune. Bar #1 is the easier way to play the opening lick but a little stilted. Bar #8 is the flowing but difficult way. Midi audio for now. What do you think?

| Cool, first time messing with this tuning and i like it. Its one i can use on my C6 guitar, im still working my way around these types of tunings, im a blues based player thats been in Major tunings most of my life so these dont fall under the bar naturally for me but I'm making headway. Thanks for your help |

Boy, all those " Sand" riffs are right there huh? 
I think this guitar will stay in this tuning, now one of my others can be the C6 one. |

There's another recent B11th thread with more info on this tuning. Doing SGR on it is a bit like shoving a square peg through a round hole but it was interesting to mess around with.

7/6/21 - uploaded the rest of the tune and new audio file. Not sure I've got the total number of bars right but it's all just an experiment in progress.

There are a lot of jumps in this tuning, but I like the arrangement. The intervals is close to the tuning I use on my Weissy
