I was thinking of tuning one of my guitars with only 3 strings tuned to E with an octave interval between each in order to try to play a few Paul Gilbert songs (Get Out Of My Yard, Three E's For Edward). The problem is that I don't know what's the best way to do it. I guess I would have to switch some strings, but I have really no idea of what would be the best solution. Did anyone else do it here ?

Or just play it on 1 string Edit2 : I checked out the Get Out of my Yard tab and noticed that I did I completly wrong I turned all the strings to same pitch, which made the G string almost snap But you need to turn them lower, I did this and there were no problems. So it is possible with your normal strings You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Paul seems to be using a G string tuned down to E instead of a D string You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
