It works well.

OK Andy, I got my (pea-sized) brain used to the E on the 7th string. I love this tuning! It is now my main 8-string tuning. Thanks.

You're very welcome, Tom. It's an amazing tuning. The more I fool with it, the more I discover (or trip over). There is a world of possibilities there.

The more I hunt and peck, the more I find that I like.
I can get both major and minor three-part harmonized
scales without slants with this tuning.
The forum's own Ricky Davis uses and recommends that tuning. Here is a link to his version of Oklahoma Stomp in E13
