I tried it - BAGDAD on the guitar doesn't word real well -the sixth string becomes too slack, tends to vibrate on the frets and requires huge hand stretches to get the bass notes. Why anyone would think it was a BANJO tuning must be arithmetically challenged (or maybe a banjo player who hasn't figured out that there are usually a maximum of FIVE strings on a banjo - the six string ones are banjuitars - tuned like a guitar). Rather than Baghdad, I do agree we should launch an asault on banjos, whatever tuning they are in!
