That's sorta what I was getting at... there's no point in alternat-tuning and then using chords that fret all or most of the strings... So what I'm looking for are chord charts for simple 2 and 3 finger chords for the open tunings mentioned above... They exist... I know they do... all ya gotta do is watch ANY of the players I've listed above and you'll see 'em...

There's nothing wrong with capoing.. and if you'll READ my post aboive, that's exactily what I said... I'm just looking to add something else...

We may not HAVE to make it hard on ourselves, but -I- like the challenge, and Don Ross didn't become the guitar GOD that he is today by taking the path of least resistance...
