Thanks Crowhugger.

(I just drop the low E to a D. Keep everything else in standard tuning.) But I've been doing a lot of bending on the 1st and 2nd strings --something I'd not done too much of before--and this is when I started to notice the intonation/tuning thingy...but, it sounds so cool hearing these soloing kind of licks around the alternating bass, so I'll keep doing it, and put up with it, as long as I can keep the song and strings reasonably in tune with itself.

(I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to playing any kind of blues in D, in standard tuning again. There are just so many doors and variations open in this Dropped D thingy. (I know it's old hat to a lot of you, but I'm like a kid in a candy store, and haven't gotten past the ''novelty'' phase of it yet...and really it's all Mr. Fielding's fault!)
