Aaah chucks, now I want a Tremol NO for my S7420

you're one note shy of playing standard tuning (for a 7) up a half step. why leave the G as it is? I've often wondered why I never hear of people tuning up (aside from some open tunings), but i suppose most people who'd want to go higher do just use capos.

Extra finger positions. If you wanted to do an Em shape in that position on all 7 strings, its simply:

-2
-0
-0
-0
-2
-2
-0

If you wanted a Bminor in standard 7 string tuning, you'd have to do
-2
-3
-4
-x
-2
-2
-0

or something like
-2
-3
-4
-4
-2
-2
-0

Or some variation. even if you tuned BEADF#BE, you could use the first shape and its WAAAY easier.

It's funny you mention that, as I recently had an idea for a 'lute guitar'; a 23.75" scale electric instrument tuned GCFADG (same as standard six-course lute tuning). It would have the fingering advantages of me an MK's new tunings, but also the advantages of a shorter scale (big stretches and bends FTW!!!)...
