Please listen to this 5ths tuned guitar:

Everything you hear on this improvised 2 track jam, was done on this guitar.
No bass guitar was used... Just pure 5ths Guitar all the way!
I tried to cover the full range of the instrument so that you could get an idea of the extremely wide range of this tuning.
