Seth,

Hello!

It has been very en-"gauging" to read about the many open tunings
that you, Paul, David and Neil have spoken of. I'm sure that for
one's acclimated to playing with standard tuned instruments, the new
melodic possibilities are astounding and fresh.

I'm trying to keep track of all posts on this thread, I wish that we
could keep a common related subject line, so that it will be easy for
others to search for this topic in out database. Especially for being
able to later access this info about the open tuning ideas.

Reading with interest (and doing top secret research in the
background),

Jacky Ligon
