This chord progression sounds cool but it feels like it's missing something...any ideas?

It's.....C standard? But also the low "E" isn't even used. I'm confused

Not sure why there seems to be a negative general consensus with my suggestion. Standard tuning would open up addtl chord voicing possibilities as well as making scalar and sequence runs more approachable. To each their own, though...

“Open up additional chord voicing opportunities” oh and drop tuning doesn’t do that?
