High B and E strings...
Why did the inventors of the modern guitar tuning layout, shift the b and e strings down one fret? I'm sure there is a theory reason behind it, but, was it worth it?

You know... One of those moments where I look back and realize there is this nifty feature on the forum. It's called Search. I should have used it. ;)

Im pretty sure some of them just tried different things and thought it sounded good so they used it. But there is defenetly theory behind it.

I forget it all, but one really good point was it would be hard to do Barre chords otherwise! There is a general advantage in barre and other chords to having the top and bottom stings being the same note.
