Ray, I love it. I am going to share this with my grandkids if that's alright with you.
I think your guitar is fretted, is this correct? It sounds great.
Mine is fretless so I can confuse myself better. It is strung very high, like a dulcimer, if they are strung very high. It's a consequence of the stick-on-top construction method. I used a digital electronic tuner to "tune" it and my wife with perfect relative pitch commented that it needed to be tuned. I promise not to sing out loud in anyone's hearing, if I can avoid it.
Ray, I dropped the tuning to EBE, the neck responded by getting a little less dished. Methinks the worker-bee oriented the ash grain in the wrong direction, or it's just a pool noodle to begin with.
But I like open E a lot, it sounds less like a cloud of flying insects .. . .
OK! a three legged banjo eh? that's easy listening and singing truth is the best kind...
my box is EBE right now, and the noodle neck likes the looser tension. replaced the bridge with a wood nut, which lowered the action a lot. this makes it a little quieter, but also mellow. just won't work well with lots of ambient engine noise, like at take-off... thanks for the cord chart. my box is fretless, so I only get slide sounds. I listened to it for a while today and somehow the key of E suits me, although I can't figure out what it's good for. I crack myself up sometimes.
The chord progression is a sped-up version of "wayfaring stranger".....sort of bouncing dark and somber Am off of an Em brightened-up with Cmaj and Dmaj. The lyrics are old Hank's most famous song.....
my browser is having a hissey-fit with u2b, and gives this error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR which has to do with the certificates being out of date or otherwise not cooperating. which is to say, I missed the chord change, sri.
welcome to the fire..
