G stays the same
B down to A (1 step)
E down to D (1 step)

It's not impossible. But it definitely has to be tuned up. Down and it would just be a flopping mess.

not really since its such a thick string, but keeping the guitar in this tuning for extended period may cause some stress issues depending upon the quality of the guitar

I've heard of Michael Hedges, and I know that he's "kind of" good at playing the guitar....

I stray away from such skill oriented playing, but if I had that bastard Fat Jack's knowledge and skill I'd defin. tackle dat shit.
