low to high E G# E G# B -> this is wrong. It's E G# C# G# B
I"ve used many many others but they have been lost long ago.

The 'x' is where the high E should be... except I always break 'em so I've stopped using that string. It's actually for the better, because then I can tune the B a 1/2 step flat and not worry about hitting diminished 5ths.. It really changes what you play when your upper drone note (Bb) doesn't match the lower drone note (E)

This tuning is like playing a classical instrument because of the first few intervals being in fifths. Like having drop D in the first two positions with the ability to add a major or minor third on top when playing in the first position. 9ths are easy to reach in both positions.
