The Scientist, in 4ths
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8Ls9RYmlEU
at the time there wasnt any info on it that i knew about, i just mapped it out and went ahead with it.
i play original music or my own arrangements so i dont have to worry about being able to play other people's 'normal' tuning.
it can be more difficult to play full string strumming, without the oct/5th on the top 2 strings bar, but apart from that its all pluses
it did cross my mind to try out a 7 string with an additional low B and then E-F for the rest, but i havent got around to it yet.
perhaps i'll try B-C on a 6string first
Disadvantages Yes, you've found the advantages, symmetry for playing riffs, scales and chords. Faster learning new ideas.
Disadvantages:
Relearning the fretboard.
You loose all of the folk type open chords.
Rock'n'Roll riffs are much harder to play, example: Chuck Berry's Johnny be Good.
Some chords with extensions are more difficult to finger, because the extensions on the high strings are a fret lower, example CMaj7#11.
You loose all of your standard rock riffs, the ones you've been playing for years on the treble strings.
Follow the pattern start at the "1", when you get to the next "1", change to the next pattern's "1" and then change to the next pattern at "1".
