Recently strung one of my guitars in Robert Fripp's New Standard Tuning. C G D A E G. (I tune to 415 hz so B Gb Db etc...)

New Standard Tuning turns the guitar upside down. Rather than fourths (and a major third) it is in fifths (and a minor third). This changes all the chord shapes. Makes pentatonic nigh unplayable. But creates room for new voicings.

Here's some chord shapes I've worked out after playing with NST for an hour. The minor third interval is between the second highest and highest strings so these chord shapes work in all positions except the highest string. There's also a pair of chord shapes for playing on the highest strings.
