Thanks Shane.  Just what I wanted to know.  I may give it a try.

Uncle John, I wouldn't say the tuning was really that versatile.  I currently use this tuning for just three songs:  Tattoo of You, Mother Leeds and a cover of "Horse" by the band +LIVE+. 

I usually have between 5-8 different guitars on stage with me, all strung differently with various tunings.

Like the sound of that tuning- sounds beautiful.   Pretty song too.  Shane is that tuning versatile for you?   Huh.  I kind of feel stale on the old stuff and I am thinking about trying this.

sounds like the theme song from the tv show friday night lights.

Nice tune Shane. First time I heard it nice to see some other tunings ;-)
