I started using this tuning when I got my new guitar earlier this summer and got back into guitar playing after a long absence. I don't think I've touched standard tuning for about three months. Three chord songs you can accompany with one finger and a capo and nine times out of ten sound accomplished. And with perseverence and work you can (notice I said you not me) play the most amazingly complex instrumental arrangements. The more I explore this tuning the more I realise just how versatile it it.
