The Offset Two Guitar Tuning Uncrossed

and

Ascending 5ths/Ascending 4ths Uncrossed

horizontal rule

On my Grand Stick I use  what I call an "offset two guitar tuning."  What that means is that there are two sets of guitar gauge strings on both sides tuned in ascending fourths.  

I also use an Ascending 5ths tuning with a Ascending 4ths melody side uncrossed.

I uncross my hands when I play because I find it easier to do for long playing sessions.

Thus, in a relatively short time I've been able to play many tunes with a minimum of mental difficulty understanding the tuning.  I've been playing for about a year now and truly enjoy playing solo because you can improvise, play melody and chords and enjoy the tunes alone.
