Michael James, Forum Member announced a new tuning he came up with a few months ago and his set up was as follows: High to Low.......
F--D--B--G--E--C
I added a high G (012) on top and a high C (018) on the bottom. Allowing 2 root tones.
A nice 8 string lap steel non pedal tuning I would say. I chose a Beetles Song "Something" to demonstrate the potential of this tuning.
Thanks Michael and my best to you.

Frank said it was his favorite Lennon-McCartney song.

Thank you for listening.
I do recall reading where Frank said "Something" like that and George wrote it which was a surprise to me as I gave it to Lennon originally. Smile
