Hello Everyone!

I want to tune my 3 string CBG in Open D tuning but I'm not sure as to how I should arrange the notes I want and which strings I should use accordingly. I figured there's a many of you who could help me out. Normally I play open G on my four string Doing DGBD so for open D on 3 strings should I go for DAF#, DAD, or F#AD??? And I'd like to stick with having the 1st string a high E string from an acoustic guitar string set but of course I'm open to any suggestions.

 

Thanks in Advance

You were right I totally found my answer!
I should point out, that this part (Dgb)d of Open G tuning on a 4 string CBG is the same major scale intervals (513) as the Devil tuning ADf# on a 3 string tuning. All the chord shapes and fingerings are the same. The only difference is that one CBG sounds in the key of G, the other CBG sounds in the key of D. More relativity. Enjoy your practice, Keni Lee   
What tuning did you go with?  I tune mine to Dad, with 26, 17, 13 strings.
I went with ADF# with a medium set of strings but i think i'm gonna switch over to a light gauge they were a bit too solid
