JI tuning for fretless guitar

Here is the way I tune my Fretless and refretted JI guitars lately (I also
use other tunings for other needs, but this one is pretty nice for more
conventional chord changes):

>From lowest string to highest:

F A C E G Bb

4 5 1 5 3 7
- - - - - -
3 3 1 4 2 4

Any three adjacent strings furnish a triad (major, minor, major, diminished).

Any 4 adjacent strings furnish a 7th chord (Maj.7th, min.7th, Dominant 7th).

The entire scheme (or any part of it) may be barred anywhere (straight accross).

Various alterations and extensions are possible through creative fingering.

The interlocking chords make changes very easy.
