Justin,
I’ve been using this tuning since 1963. Like yourself, it started as an experiment.
By re-fingering I managed to work out a couple hours of classical guitar material, but,
as time demands, Jazz is what holds my interest now. I’m very interested in what you’re
doing and will stay in touch.

Been doing it for 20 years now on acoustic. Try relearning Tony Rice and Mark Oconnor tunes in fourths. Fun stuff! My good friend’s a banjo player and he switch a few years after me too. A brave move on banjo. He’s the best musician I know of though. Better than anyone I’ve ever heard! I’m guessing we’re the only two to do so in our field. All first position chords are done with two fingers mostly. Try that one! Of course I really like McLaughlin, so learning to play with his influence also had been one of my main goals for many years. I now focus on playing what feels comfortable more than anything else. The only way we will get the world to change is to prove it’s more ergonomic. I think if we have a future with less and less sensationalism it will happen. Chord progressions are ridiculously easier and everybody knows that it’s superior with scales. Wikipedia is wrong! Sensationalism is why the guitar was never converted to straight fourths. It’s also why Einstein was credited with the discovery of e=mc2, and now we all know that’s not true! By the way, I call the old tuning Segovia-vaudeville tuning. Ha ha!
