This technique works incredibly well for intonation. For keys with one or two sharps or flats you can get away with the open strings resonating, but if you are in six sharps or five flats then natural resonance of the instrument doesn't work, and a drone is essential for finding the correct notes exactly spot on.
thank You!!
