Great site Y'all !! Gregg, man imagine if we had this stuff, back yonder !!! hahahahahaa !!

So with classic tuning, the same (but inverted) chord shape on the bass side plays the Second Inversion of the melody chord?

[@GenePerry]

In so long as the left hand is tuned in 5ths, this will be the case. Imagine a classic "C" chord on the guitar. When you play that in the left hand, the lowest string will be G, then E and then the root.

BariMel really seems to suit the Railboard sound,

I use the Classic tuning with High bass 4th religiously !! It works very well for how I play, with that Power chord ( tribal aspect )..for years I played a 10 string classic, I broke a lot of strings, so I switched to a Baritone tuning, but in 2001 / I bought a 12 stringed Grand, EC suggested the classic high tuning, for my Jazzier / fusion stuff.....I've never looked back...until my current interest, in the Railboard....played one for several hours this weekend ( borrowed ).....jury still out....it sets very high sonically, for my taste, so far. may have to use it, tuned DBM...for rhythemic apps !! The sun likes it, so far, I owed a Poly, the sun hated it, intonation was always "Out"..cool sometimes, other times a nightmare !! Never tried matched recip....but it sounds very interesting. Peace

I use heavy gauge Strings for years, moving slowly towards Medium gauge. I'm very heavy - handed, EC will attest to my bombast !!...but age has calmed me so, we shall see on this outting, illness has curbed my.....tension and fury.....a bit.
