    Good!

    @Uncle John:

    - Yep, understand.  I've setup the action quite high with high tension strings.  So, it's rather hard to do anything but play with a slide.  However, the slide sounds fantastic.

    I love that tuning.   Don't forget that I does not have to be all slide.  

    C chord-  small string fretted at first fret and 3rd sting fretted at the 2nd.

    D7  chord small string fretted at first fret and 2nd string fretted at 2nd

    Em chord - 3rd string fretted at the 2nd fret.
