What - you want a MINOR chord in open tuning! utter shame on you - when will you learn this site is NOT a guitar information service - why I could charge heaps for such info!!!! As for taking the string off, while that is 'technically' possible it's also 'technically' possible to add another string - in fact I am so obessessed with the possiblities I have added another 7 strings to most of my instruments! and I insist on using a low D on them - otherwise I find you get warts, speak in tongues, are surrounded by Asians/other ethnically diverese persons plus the unoccupied machine head tends to rattle on the quiet passages.
So I urge you to abjure the ways of Satan, repent fully of this heresy and only then may HE gather you to his Bossom!!

Worked for Keef...

Did it??? I reckon Keef is actually a myth and does not really exist - his parts being played by 'corporate guitars of America inc' while the physical represetnation is by Johnny Depp with lots of stage makeup.

LOL
On the topic of Keef, apart from BOSS pedals and cockroaches, I reckon Keef would be the only other thing to survive a nuclear war.
yeah but's lets face it if Keef does not exist (as I averr) then we would have to invent him! which neatly proves why Johnny Depp exists Q.E.D. as the Latin sickos would have said!
However getting back to the B chord there is an option that will keep both me and another happy and that is B5 - because it has only the 1st and the 5th of the scale it is neither major nor minor (hence no need for different fingerings) and will allow you to take all but 2 strings of the guitar leaving on only the 2nd and the 3rd - the third you will tune down to F sharp (or even G flat if you are feeling adventurous). Then provided you hook your guitar up to a large Marshall amp, don leather gear and sing in Gutteral German such light charming ditties as 'Wishing well, Paranoid and Back in Black' to delight and amaze your olds.,
On the other hand if you follow the Henderson's advice and get an Ovation, you need only don tight leather gear and sing in falsetto 'Oh tiptoe through the tulips etc'!
Well, went out to purchase one or the other of those Yamaha or Cort models. The bloomin shop sold out, which in hindsight was a good thing.
My darling, very understanding and slightly crazy husband, decided a drive up to Christchurch and a visit to the Rockshop would be in order! (been wanting to mope about there for ages).
So off we went......
What a great bunch of guys work in that place, havent had as much fun in ages, i was like a kid in a sweet shop. A couple of hours later i didn't buy either the Cort or the Yamaha but ended up coming home with a Takamine EG440SC - A M A Z I N G sound. Cost a bit more but its sooooo worth it. Very very happy with it wearing the tips of my fingers off playing it, can't put it down (well apart from to reply to my blog).
Now I definately know the sound difference between a solid top and a lamainted one allright!
Plenty of time for that yet... Oh and technically , you don't need the low D for that tuning. so you might as well take the string off
