"Oh and I use the 4 highest (lightest) strings off of a normal acoustic guitar. (So that would normally be the DGBE strings)"

Now, with all the different tunings that are available on the 3 and 4 strings, it's driving me crazy. Lots of different ways on how to play a cord, especially with open tuning, and which tuning to use, oh ya, and to slide or not to slide...lol. I try to play along with songs on this site and you tube, but it's tough when you don't know which tuning they are using, thats why i asked you what you were using. so much to learn and so little time...lol
Thanks again, have a good one...Dan
