Which tunings do y'all play in besides the open G (G,D,G). Just curious
Tags:
On a fretted three or four string, G,D,G = 1,5,8
1,4,8
1,3,8
standard
On a slide only,
1,4,8,
1,4,6,
standard
Really I've played around with a lot of different tunings. These are just the ones I'm using the most right now. Sometimes I'll tune it up weird just to see what I can come up with. It really is a lot of fun. Each different tuning brings on new possibilities.
indeed it does bring new possibilities. i was playing around with tuning and just got curious. ive tried open a and d. but still messing around. I aint no pro with it ya know? And what does those numbers mean? I.E. 1,4,8 or 1,3,8
I"m really going to have to try the 5,1,3 tuning.
King answered the question 'what does those numbers mean?" Thanks King. I'd also like to add I use major tunings. Not miner.
If you have a fretted guitar a major scale is easy to find. It goes like this.
First note then. Whole step, whole step, half. Whole step, whole step, whole step half. Start on any note and go up. A whole step means to jump a space. Half a step means to play the next fret up.
thanks king rubbish! I understand it now. Makes more sense now..and ive been messing around with that open d tuning.
hey turtlehead, this is very nice. I am going to save this picture :D much appreciated
Wow, that is a really helpful diagram from Turtlehead - it will save me a lot of head scratching when I'm figuring what strings to buy! And good advice on working out the major scale intervals from Cause.
Just to follow up on the 513 tuning, below is a sheet of basic chords - you just need to figure out where the root note is for the chord you want. You can pretty much play in any key using this method just like a regular six string guitar. Note that there are a lot more possibilities than these, if you start substituting notes or adding in open strings there are all sorts of interesting chords to find...
do yall make these diagrams or find them? because these are really good..lol. thanks king rubbish
Which tuning you prefer depends also from whether you are playing for yourself or with others, if so, there is a difference in which key you choose to play together: as an example, preferably GDG for keys in G, A, B, C, and DAD for keys in D, E, F, G, to stay for chords below the 15th fret.
