If you use the DAD tuning that will work also as Ron suggested I do it The way I do because I Play in Many different Keys on the same Guitar without changing tuneing

Thanks Uncle John I use an inverted open G tuning most of the time D G B just take the D up to E and The G up to B and B to E I use medium gauge Strings the 2nd B,3rd, G and 4th D Strings from a medium gauge set This allows Me to go up or down without Breakage Standard  pitch for these strings is D,G,B I often drop to A#,F#.C# to Open F sharp tuning it gives me a more relaxed Vocal range to play in all My favorite Keys. I use the inverted tunings because it allows Me to play Bass lines and Melodies on top strings I tune all My 3, and 4 string Guitars this way only I tune the 1st string up to G or Root note of key this gives Me two Roots gives the guitar more Sustain. The E,B,E Tuning is a straight open tuning for power Bar chords two roots don't use this often

I'm guessing tuned down up down from DAD...

Nice tone and playing.   James O, how did you get EBE?  Just tuned down?  
I cranked my swampy up to AEA today and a new song came out.
