guitar tuning
« on: February 20, 2007, 08:33:22 pm »
do any of you guys know C A C G C E tuning for guitar? or open C7?

nvm about that, i found them. here's some alternate tuning if any of you guys want some:

(start with standard tuning)

DADGAD tuning:
6th string, on 7th fret to 5th string.(Drop D)
Tune 2nd string, to 3rd string, 2nd fret.
Tune 1st string, to 2nd string, 5th fret.

Open C tuning (CGCGCE):
2nd string, 4th fret, tuned to 1st(string).
3rd string, 5th fret, tuned to 2nd.
4th string, 7th fret, tuned to 3rd.
5th string, 5th fret, tuned to 4th.
6th string, 7th fret, tuned to 5th.

Bron Y Aur tuning:
Play the 3rd fret 5th string and the 4th string open. Retune the 4th String to match the 3rd fret 5th string.
Play the 12th fret 6th string and the 4th String open. Retune the 12th fret 6th to match the 4th string open.
Play the 5th fret 3rd string and the 2nd string open. Retune the 2nd string to match the 5th fret 3rd string.

What do you even play with those tuning schemes?

The proper tuning for a string instrument is CGDA. The proper string instrument, thus, is the cello.

well this is for guitar, you play alot of stuff with those types of tunings, they're basically used in blues, old folk music, and alot of other things.
