Alan, it's the same string relationships as DGB open G and GDGB open G that I use more often.

Thanks, Alan.  I used the A D and G strings from a 6 string set for an open D that could be slid or finger chorded.  Then I went to do the vid and thought it sounded better with  a Low E harp.  So, I guess I could have capoed, but that git is a bit short scale and I cranked it up to B E G#.

Some Very Nice "Poor Boy Blues" Huffin' & Puffin', Git Pickin' and Vocals, interesting open E tuning, I don't believe I've tried that one (yet!), usually go with E B E, :-)

Good ol' cowboy tune. Nicely played and sung Uncle. The harp and 3 string fit the mood perfectly.
