in standard tuning you can't play all six strings with a lot of chords unless you use barre chords, right?

it really, really throws me off, that 'b' string. i detest it. coming from the violin where if you know the fingering for one string you know them all, it's a wart and a mental hurdle where there shouldn't be one.

i'd try this 'c' 'f' thing out if it didn't put so much stress on the instrument. is there any way to get equidistant intervals without so drastic a tuning change?
