I'm more of a guitar player than a keyboard player and I can say that any
strange feeling was easy to get used to and was ignored within minutes of
trying it.  I like it so much that I now play that guitar tuned like that all
the time whether I'm using the synth or not.

Thanks for this, I had thought what I was doing was Nashville, but I see that
it's a partial Nashville tuning.
