Location: Chicago | I have used this tuning almost exclusively for decades. Has anyone here tried it? I recently discovered a cool FaceBook community of players (just over 100) who use P4. You will find a good discussion there about "Why P4?":

For the "sound" check out these rhythm tracks for a new tune of mine. It's a cool sound, I think:

Location: Texas | That tuning would make the entire fretboard WAY too logical...

Location: NW Washington State | I try straight fourths every year or so. I made some scale and arpeggio charts years ago before there were programs to do it. But after a week or two I always fall back to noodling in standard tuning. I've also failed at playing the Stick which is tuned in fourths and fifths. |

Location: Northwest Arkansas | Open tunings and straight. That's it for me. There's enough to learn there, I don't have time for anything else. Good luck in your endeavours. |

Location: Chicago | Well, I've used Perfect Fourths for many years and have "re-tooled" completely. One nice thing is the interplay between Jeff's (my bandmate) standard tuning and my P4 tuning. Lots to explore there. Here's is an example:
