James, can you write those song lyrics?   Just kidding.  Nice mellow lesson.  We are a bunch of different cats with a bunch of fave tunings.  I have about five faves in 3 and 4 strings.

I admire the guys (Turtlehead, Jim Morris and more), who work at playing all the keys on a IVI three string.  But for me, playing the tuning you are playing is really versatile,  handy and fairly easy - especially the key of G.  Bonus is that you learn some of this and you can pick up a uke or tenor guitar in Chicago Tuning (DGBE) and play it. 

Best wishes to all no matter how many strings or tunings they are cooking on.
