Hess,

The variant I use is EBEAbBE and it works as well. Besides the E chord, which is the chord your guitar is tuned to without fingering the neck in this open tuning, there are two simple fingered chords that make the A and B. The A chord in this tuning looks very much like the normal E chord in standard tuning, only without fingering the note on the second fret of the fourth string. The B chord in this tuning looks like a D7th in standard tuning except you move the two upper fingers in the shape up one string. I hope this is clear enough to visualize.

You might also try using your guitar as a lap guitar with this tuning. Laying it, back facing down, in your lap the way bluegrass Dobro pickers do. You'll have to purchase a slide bar of some sort. Lap style playing can be an easy alternative given it's simplicity. Of course, you can take this stylistic approach as far as you wish and many have.

They also make capos that work for lap style square neck Dobro guitars should you start to explore this alternative.

All the best
