This tuning is very awkward, so Newton's DGDGAD tuning is also correct, just two steps 
higher. However, if you choose DGDGAD then then one chord is different, as shown when you 
get there. 

H = Hit the guitar above the sound-hole with your wrist for a bass thump. 
S = Slap the side of the guitar under the neck with your left hand. 
X = Slap the string with your thumb against the fretboard.
