Giving this some tho't............
I think "I" would first listen to as many artists that you can access.......
Out of that vast array.....I'd pick the "ONE" that I'd most like to sound like....not copy....but rather, sound like.
From there, one can determine his tuning, adopt that tuning for awhile and then.........after giving it a spin render a decision as to whether it's in your best interest to continue laboring with it.
From there on, it's merely a matter of pick and choose until you find the magic formula.

I only use C6 tuning CEGACE. I find it to be the most versatile choice. Blues, Hawaiian, Swing, Early Country all fall naturally on this tuning.

For what it's worth.........
I have to agree with you Gerald......
I've found C6th to be my mainstay for several decades now and there has been nothing I couldn't find or play on it. It's a very versatile tuning.
Personally, I've found the seven string set-up to work best for me E-C-A-G-E-C#-C

Thanks!
I am definitely expanding my music library as part of this. Listening to a lot of Lindley right now. I think I'll start in C6 now as I have it and it seems the most versatile.
