I mostly play (if you can call it that) fretless CBG's with a slide, and wanted to explore open chord tuning other than GDG.

I'll add other tunings as I discover them or folks let me know of them. More riffs will be added later as well. I may rework the riff system at some point.

I'm really not very music theory literate, so if anything is wrong, please let me know.
