Standard tuning (listen)Guitar tunings assign to the of, including,. Are described by the particular pitches denoted by notes in. By convention, the notes are ordered from lowest-pitched string (i.e., the deepest bass note) to highest-pitched (thickest string to thinnest).defines the string pitches as E, A, D, G, B, and E, from lowest (low E 2) to highest (high E 4). Standard tuning is used by most guitarists, and frequently used tunings can be understood as variations on standard tuning.The term guitar tunings may refer to pitch sets other than standard tuning, also called nonstandard, alternative, or alternate. Some tunings are used for particular songs, and might be referred to by the song's title.
There are hundreds of such tunings, often minor variants of established tunings. Communities of guitarists who share a musical tradition often use the same or similar tunings. In standard tuning, the C-major chord has multiple shapes because of the irregular major-third between the G- and B-strings. Three such shapes are shown above. Standard is the tuning most frequently used on a six-string and musicians assume this tuning by default if a specific alternate (or ) is not mentioned. In, the guitar's standard tuning consists of the following:E 2–A 2–D 3–G 3–B 3–E 4.

Separation of the first (high E) and second (B) string, as well as the separation between the third (G), fourth (D), fifth (A), and sixth (low E) strings by a five-semitone interval (a ) lets the guitarist play a with each of the four fingers of the left hand controlling one of the first four (index finger on fret 1, little finger on fret 4, etc.) only when the hand is in the first position.The open notes of the second (B) and third (G) strings are separated by a four- interval (a ). This tuning pattern of (low) fourths, one major-third, and one fourth was inherited by the guitar from its predecessor instrument, the. On the other hand, the irregular major third breaks the fingering patterns of scales and chords, so that guitarists have to memorize multiple chord-shapes for each chord. Scales and chords are simplified by and, which are maintaining the same between consecutive open-string notes.Chromatic note progression0IIIIIIIVopen1st fret (index)2nd fret (middle)3rd fret (ring)4th fret (little)6th stringE 2F 2F ♯ 2/G ♭ 2G 2G ♯ 2/A ♭ 25th stringA 2A ♯ 2/B ♭ 2B 2C 3C ♯ 3/D ♭ 34th stringD 3D ♯ 3/E ♭ 3E 3F 3F ♯ 3/G ♭ 33rd stringG 3G ♯ 3/A ♭ 3A 3A ♯ 3/B ♭ 3B 32nd stringB 3C 4C ♯ 4/D ♭ 4D 4D ♯ 4/E ♭ 41st stringE 4F 4F ♯ 4/G ♭ 4G 4G ♯ 4/A ♭ 4Alternative refers to any open-string note arrangement other than standard tuning. These offer different sonorities, chord voicings, and fingerings. Alternative tunings are common in, where the guitar may emulate various modal ethnic instruments and tunings, and may be called upon to produce drone notes.
Alternative tunings necessarily change the fingering shapes of common chords, which eases the playing of some chords while increasing the difficulty of others.Some tunings are used for particular songs, and may be named after the song's title. There are hundreds of such tunings, though many are slight variants of other alternate tunings. A few alternative tunings are used regularly by communities of guitarists who share a musical tradition, such as American folk or Celtic folk music. The hundreds of alternative tunings have been classified into a few categories:. dropped.
open. both major and minor (cross note). modal. instrumental (based on other ). miscellaneous (“special”).developed a shorthand descriptive method of noting guitar tuning wherein the first letter documents the note of the lowest string, and is followed by the relative fret (half-step) offsets required to obtain the pitch of the next (higher) string.
This scheme highlights pitch relationships and simplifies the process of comparing different tuning schemes.String gauges Some alternative tunings are difficult or even impossible to achieve with conventional sets of guitar strings, which have gauges optimized for standard tuning. With conventional sets, some higher tunings increase string-tension until playing requires significantly more finger-strength and stamina, or even until a string snaps or the guitar is warped; with lower tunings, strings may be loose and buzz. Tone is also negatively affected by unsuitable string gauge.Generally, alternative tunings benefit from re-stringing of the guitar with string gauges chosen to optimize particular tunings by using lighter strings for higher notes (to lower tension) and heavier strings for lower notes (to prevent string buzz);Dropped tunings A dropped tuning starts with standard tuning and typically lowers the pitch of ('drops') only a single string, almost always the lowest-pitched (E) string on the guitar, though occasionally the A string is lowered.The is common in. The low E string is tuned down one whole step (to D) and the rest of the strings remain in standard tuning. This creates an 'open ' (three-note ) with the low three strings (DAD).With increased popularity of lower-tuned guitars, and subsequent 'down tuning' of standard EADGBE tuning, reference is sometimes made to the analogous dropping of the lowest string by a full tone (e.g.
'drop A').Open tunings. Ry Cooder plays slide guitar with open tunings.An open tuning lets the guitarist play a by strumming the open strings (no strings fretted).Open tunings may be chordal or modal.
In chordal open tunings, the base chord consists of at least three different pitch classes, and may include all the strings or a subset. The tuning is named for the base chord when played open, typically a major chord, and all similar chords in the chromatic scale are played by all strings across a single fret. Open tunings are common in.
These tunings are frequently used in the playing of and guitars, and Hawaiian music. Uses open tunings when he plays slide guitar.Most modern music uses because it facilitates playing in any key—as compared to just intonation, which favors a few certain keys, and other keys sound less in tune. Open tunings can provide “better” intonation for certain chords than non-open tunings, because the open strings can be in.
, and other open-G masters often lower the second string slightly so the major third is in tune with the overtone series.open-tunings are used for two classical non-Spanish guitars. For the, the open chord is C major (C–E–G–C–E–G); for the, which has, G major (G–B–D–G–B–D–G).When the open strings constitute a minor chord, the open tuning may sometimes be called a cross-note tuning.Major key tunings. For regular guitar-tunings, the distance between consecutive open-strings is a constant musical-interval, measured by semitones on the chromatic circle.
The chromatic circle lists the twelve notes of the octave.Basic informationAliasesUniform tuningsAdvanced informationAdvantagesSimplifies learning by beginners and improvisation by advanced guitaristsDisadvantagesReplicating the (“”) of standard tuning is difficult;intermediate guitarists must relearn the fretboard and chords.(, ). See also:In standard tuning, there is an interval of a major third between the second and third strings, and all the other intervals are fourths. The irregularity has a price. Chords cannot be shifted around the fretboard in the standard tuning E–A–D–G–B–E, which requires four chord-shapes for the major chords. There are separate chord-forms for chords having their on the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth strings.In contrast, have equal intervals between the strings, and so they have symmetrical scales all along the fretboard. This makes it simpler to translate chords.
For the regular tunings, chords may be moved diagonally around the fretboard. The diagonal movement of chords is especially simple for the regular tunings that are repetitive, in which case chords can be moved vertically: Chords can be moved three strings up (or down) in major-thirds tuning and chords can be moved two strings up (or down) in augmented-fourths tuning. Regular tunings thus appeal to new guitarists and also to jazz-guitarists, whose improvisation is simplified by regular intervals.On the other hand, five- and six-string (“”) are more difficult to play in a regular tuning than in standard tuning. Instructional literature uses standard tuning. Traditionally a course begins with the hand in, that is, with the left-hand covering frets 1–4.
Beginning players first learn belonging to the,. Guitarists who play mainly open chords in these three major-keys and their (, ) may prefer standard tuning over many regular tunings, On the other hand, minor-thirds tuning features many with repeated notes, properties that appeal to acoustic-guitarists and beginners.Major thirds and perfect fourths.
Main articles: andStandard tuning mixes a major third (M3) with its perfect fourths. Regular tunings that are based on either major thirds or perfect fourths are used, for example, in jazz.E 2–A 2–D 3–G 3–C 4–F 4 keeps the lowest four strings of standard tuning, changing the major third to a perfect fourth. Jazz musician stated that all-fourths tuning “simplifies the fingerboard, making it logical”.Major-thirds tuning (M3 tuning) is a regular tuning in which the between successive strings are each, for example E 2–G ♯ 2–C 3–E 3–G ♯ 3–C 4. Unlike all-fourths and all-fifths tuning, M3 tuning its octave after three strings, which simplifies the learning of chords and improvisation. This repetition provides the guitarist with many possibilities for fingering chords. With six strings, major-thirds tuning has a smaller range than standard tuning; with seven strings, the major-thirds tuning covers the range of standard tuning on six strings.Major-thirds tunings require less hand-stretching than other tunings, because each M3 tuning packs the octave's twelve notes into four consecutive frets.
The major-third intervals let the guitarist play and with two–three consecutive fingers on two consecutive frets.is especially simple in major-thirds tuning. The guitarist can invert chords by raising one or two notes on three strings—playing the raised notes with the same finger as the original notes. In contrast, inverting triads in standard and all-fourths tuning requires three fingers on a span of four frets.
In standard tuning, the shape of an inversion depends on involvement of the major-third between the 2nd and 3rd strings. All fifths and “new standard tuning”. Main articles: and C 2–G 2–D 3–A 3–E 4–B 4All-fifths tuning is a tuning in intervals of like that of a or a; other names include “perfect fifths” and “fifths”.
It has a wide range. Its implementation has been impossible with nylon strings and has been difficult with conventional steel strings. The high B makes the first string very taut, and consequently a conventionally gauged string easily breaks.Jazz guitarist used a variation of all-fifths tuning—with the bottom four strings in fifths, and the top two strings in thirds, resulting in B ♭ 1–F 2–C 3–G 3–B 3–D 4. This facilitated tenor banjo chord shapes on the bottom four strings and plectrum banjo chord shapes on the top four strings. Contemporary New York jazz-guitarist Marty Grosz uses this tuning.All-fifths tuning has been approximated by the so-called “” (NST) of ’s, which NST replaces all-fifths' high B 4 with a high G 4. To build chords, Fripp uses “perfect intervals in fourths, fifths and octaves”, so avoiding and especially, which are sharp in tuning (in comparison to thirds in ).
It is a challenge to adapt conventional guitar-chords to new standard tuning, which is based on all-fifths tuning. Some closely voiced become impractical in NST and all-fifths tuning. Instrumental tunings These are tunings in which some or all strings are retuned to emulate the standard tuning of some other instrument, such as a lute, banjo, cittern, mandolin, etc.
Many of these tunings overlap other categories, especially open and modal tunings.Miscellaneous or “special” tunings This category includes everything that does not fit into any of the other categories, for example (but not limited to): tunings designated only for a particular piece; non-western intervals and modes; micro- or macro-tones; and “hybrid tunings” combining features of major alternate tuning categories – most commonly an open tuning with the lowest string dropped.
