What he said!!!
To offer a suggestion to get this thing moving.......
J, would you pick a tuning please?
I prefer a minor or minor 7 but I don't really care. An executive decision is needed.
(You don't really expect the mob to come to consensus do you?!)
Once you set the tuning, I suggest the following to remove excuses for people who string their guitars looser than a drunken whore at Mardi Gras, or tighter than my first girlfriend.
Why don't we:
Use whatever tuning J says to use, BUT, if the suggested tuning is too loose or tight for your truss rod/attitude/happiness in general, then allow the players to tighten up (or loosen) ALL the strings a 1/2 step or whatever is necessary for the guitar to stay happy and still keep the relationships between strings the same.
This will keep the common ground of a set tuning and fingering patterns, and, placate those who have their axes set up in drop D, C, Bb, tenor, banjo, etc, as well..
The open chord may be a 1/2 step or two up or down, but I may capo whatever we use to fit a vocal key anyway so who gives a flying ***k!
Let get this puppy barkin!
