Thanks, Jason. TN, that statement kind of edified things for me. Makes sense, Yup.
I use it (A D F#) more as alternative because key of G most often fits my singing and I have gotten comfortable with GDg. I most often use A D F# for finger fretted chords.
Thanks, Uncle John. Somehow it hadn't sunk in for me that I could retune a G-d-g to a-d-f# without doing violence or changing strings.
Apparently, Keni and other 6-string guys are used to playing slide on the D-G-b strings of standard tuning, so they like tuning a 3-note chord with the third on top.
From what I can figure out, Justin Johnson often tunes a 4-string to an open chord with the 3rd on top (Root, 5th, root, 3rd), so his top 3 strings are the same as what you describe--although sometimes an A chord, sometimes a G chord, and even a C chord.
I've been trying to play Justin's "Slide Guitar" lesson with only the top 3 strings of his 4-string tuning. The so-called "Muddy Waters Lick" somehow just sounds better with the 3rd on top--as does your blues lick.
If anyone is bothered by not having a low root on the bass string, they can upgrade to a 4-string or marry a good bass player. I chose the latter solution.
