Just trying to made sure I do this right. My understanding is that Calico tuning is A E A C#
To me that looks like:
Tune the G up two half steps
Tune the D up two half steps
Leave the A alone
Tune the top E ---- how? up or down? I'm afraid I'll bust something if I tune it up, so down makes more sense to me.
How'm I doin'?
Thanks!

Thanks!Definitely tune the E DOWN to C#.
Calico tuning? I don't know, its an open Amaj. Names for tunings seem to vary by region.
