I wanted to take a moment and give credit where its due.
My ever evolving tuning E13#9/D#
I admit I enjoy the journey and am always willing to modify what I have practiced on and most of my alterations and discoveries were formed out of necessity and thanks to legends and regular players and some just comments here on this awesome forum family.
In fact those that know me on here simply know how far my tuning process has come. From Open D, Open G, Open C, C6th, Em7, Em9, A6th, Leavitt, Em11, CMaj9, E9, E13, E13#9/F now as of this week E13#9/D#
BONKERS!!! 
Inside secret to E13 - Its actually lots of combinations of the best bits of each tuning and how it relates to each other in a more playable fashion but more straightforward like E9 pedal steel.
If you have played C6th its there - Its just 4 frets higher in pitch
If you have played E9 Pedal steel its there
Recent modification from Low F - D# - with all other changes this one I give credit to Dom Franco as I felt like a straight bar Augmented chord was needed in a lower octave (Dom has his in a higher octave) as I didn't like the muddy sound of a low octave forward slant.
As with every change I give credit to those that inspire its evolution in my E13.
Some that inspire my logical changes may not even realise that it brought about single/multiple string changes.
So thanks, Morrell, Leon, Bill Hatcher, Anderson, Leavitt, Dom Franco, Mike Neer, Nate Hoefer, And Myself.
There is a method to the madness but hey just felt like sharing. For anyone wanting to venture into E13 whatever version feel free to ask away.
Thanks forum family for all the discussions, insights, agreements and disagreements as I appreciate it all.
Now back to the study and practice.
