4ths?

Anyone playing guitar tuned in 4ths and enjoying it?

I tried it but IV played that long with standard tuning it felt a bit odd ...I can understand why anyone starting would learn this way because it simplifies a lot of things and more symmetrical....Tom Quayle uses that tuning and it suits him great but he's more fusion ....not sure it would work so well for blues for example

I see what you did there @Barney ;!

About 15 years tuned in fourths, great for Jazz phrases and three note chords, but I wouldn't change if you play Rock, you loose all the cliche Rock riffs.

I tried it earlier this year for about 3 days before I gave up, it did sound all the same I found

I use that tuning to play Coldplay's "The Scientist" as the ringing top 2 strings give a really nice open lushness to the chords.

I tune all my guitars in 4ths all except for the B string

It's great for certain styles or ways of playing, it makes the intervallic approach to playing a lot easier. I tried it for a few weeks (I know, not that long) but it wasn't for me. Also made certain things like sweep picking a lot more challenging in certain positions.
