The strings of the guitar are tuned two whole steps lower than standard tuning. The resulting notes can be described most commonly as C-F-A♯-D♯-G-C or C-F-B♭-E♭-G-C. This is not to be confused with C ♯ tuning, which is one and one half steps lower than standard tuning. The tuning is commonly used by metal and hard rock artists to
New standard tuning (NST) is an alternative tuning for the guitar that approximates all-fifths tuning.The guitar's strings are assigned the notes C2-G2-D3-A3-E4-G4 (from lowest to highest); the five lowest open strings are each tuned to an interval of a perfect fifth {(C,G),(G,D),(D,A),(A,E)}; the two highest strings are a minor third apart (E,G).
G ♯ /A ♭ tuning – G ♯-C ♯-F ♯-B-D ♯-G ♯ / A ♭-D ♭-G ♭-B-E ♭-A ♭ Four full steps down from standard tuning. Utilized by Cannibal Corpse on some songs. Used by death/doom metal band Encoffination. Also used by Mark Tremonti on the song "In the Deep" (Myles Kennedy uses a 6-string guitar tuned to Drop Db in the song). G ...
On a six-string neck, for example, on lap steel guitar, C6 tuning is most usually C-E-G-A-C-E, bass to treble and going away from the player. Some other six-string C6 tunings are: A-C-E-G-C-E. G-C-G-A-C-E. E-C-G-A-C-E. E-G-A-C-E-G. C-A-C-G-C-E; On an eight-string neck, for example, on a console steel guitar, popular C6 tunings are: High C6 ...
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 root note on the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth strings. [2]
An open C tuning. Open C tuning is an open tuning for guitar. The open-string notes form a C major chord, which is the triad (C,E,G) having the root note C, the major third (C,E), and the perfect fifth (C,G). When the guitar is strummed without fretting any strings, a C-major chord is sounded.
The C–C–G–C–E–G tuning uses some of the harmonic sequence (overtones) of the note C. [33] [34] This overtone-series tuning was modified by Mick Ralphs, who used a high C note rather than the high G note for "Can't Get Enough" on Bad Company. Ralphs said, "It needs the open C to have that ring," and "it never really sounds right in ...

(ADADAD) This kind of tuning can also be called modal D or open D5 as it contains a D chord without a third. It is also used on other instruments, e.g. fiddle, mandolin and the Irish bouzouki.
