Very nice video - very nice player! Great with the right hand and love the thumb fretting on the left hand.
Where you place your octave strings (above or below) depends a lot on how you play - in other words a personal choice.
When I see this tuning, I don't necessarily think of Hawaiian music, though it obviously works well for that. I look at it as a Cuatro tuning with high octaves on the 3rd & 1st. We once offered string sets for almost every imaginable combination for 6 & 8 stringers. I may have to give this one a second thought. It can work for Jazz, Latin and other music as well.
Thanks for posting!
