Just a suggestion...tune what are normally your B (2nd) and E (1st) strings to a C and E respectively to make it an actual open chord tuning (of C major). You could also flat the E to E flat and make it an open C minor. I use this tuning all the time; absolutely love it. Maybe you're trying to learn a particular song that uses the specified tuning, in which case disregard my post. But if not, I recommend the full chord versions for more versatility.
