At least the 6 string bass has a C string instead of a B. wink

Having the top two notes B and E makes chords like A and E a walk in the park. But change the guitar strings to E A D G C F and see what happens to your chord shapes. It's not pretty. sick

I remember how I couldn't find any patterns between chords on the guitar, and then finally saw the "shift" that the B string did to the structure. I could suddenly see the E, A and D shapes were the same.

Like I said, it only happens when I am trying to learn something new and I 'see' it on piano and try to convert to guitar.
Once I have learned it, of course the B-E make sense.
/plus it was meant as humor wink

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
