Just what I do on bass really, only smaller.
No reason why you can't make decent music like that though.
I just suss out what the root notes are, and improvise a bassline using the shapes I know sound OK.
Imagine if I ever present myself as a guitarist to play with other people, as long as I can do that, I will always be able to play the power chords, and the fills that work with them, even if I'm tuned differently.
I googled her, and what she said about patterns and the fretboard making sense in terms of what you hear as interval is why I tried it.
The fact that there are working guitarists who've been doing it since the 80s tells me it's viable, so I guess I'm a quartal tuning guitarist now!
I have an idea of using a cam shaped device that can be turned and set but haven't made one yet.
You can just install another string tree with a deeper angle to raise to C ... you can actually just tuck it under before the song or before the solo.
Trouble is the E is now a maj3 not a 4th but I quite like that.

I remember a device similar to what @Danny1969 describes being advertised in US guitar mags in the late 80s/early 90s. Maybe I can dig out an old issue and post a pic.
A bass player reckoning up the string intervals: 4th, 4th, 4th, maj 3rd...wtf...why would you do that?!!
So it's a great way to keep bass players from transferring to lead
It's also a cracking idea *if* you can let go of traditional chord shapes.
Put another way - If P4 was standard tuning and you suggested the current format, people would think you were barking.
So - am going to give it a try and see what I think. If it helps my comping sound like Mccoy Tyner, I will making it permanent.
I won't be able to start for a few weeks, but I'll respond if anything good comes of it.
