Here's a little intro in the key of D I came up with in B11th tuning played as a Bossa Nova feel just to show B11th is not just for moody Hawaiian songs. There's a ton of untapped potential. This is a little bit of a weird progression but could serve as an intro in a number of genres. I didn't play the rhythms in the attached chart. Quick and dirty direct recording with a little bit of cord noise I didn't bother about.

Very nice, Andy. I can hear that being expanded into a complete tune.

I've been fooling around with a B11 tuning on an 8 string (A, B, C#, D#, F#, A, C# E), although I'm not adept yet.
It's excellent for a jazz feel, and pretty good for blues. |

| Good stuff, I'm really liking this tuning, my Cole Clark Rickalike now lives in it. Its a distinctly Hawaiian sounding tuning but im able to easily find my familiar bluesy territory when i want it, great that you included BB,i know what I'll be working on today! Thanks Andy |

You have been posting a lot of really awesome B11th content lately! I dig it!
By the way, I went back to listen to your very interesting rendition of Blue Moon and the link was dead, could you perhaps post it on Soundcloud? |

Thanks, Joe! My book of 18 B11th arrangements is back in print as a PDF download.
I deleted that Blue Moon video 'cause it was a new tuning and a new arrangement and my wonky intonation really bugged me. It's not even on my computer anymore. Here's the arrangement with midi audio.
