The augmented-fourth interval is the only interval whose inverse is the same as itself. The augmented-fourths tuning is the only tuning (other than the 'trivial' tuning C-C-C-C-C-C) for which all chords-forms remain unchanged when the strings are reversed. Thus the augmented-fourths tuning is its own 'lefty' tuning." [2]
Among all regular tunings, all-fourths tuning E-A-D-G-C-F is the best approximation of standard tuning, which is more popular. All-fourths tuning is traditionally used for the bass guitar; [5] it is also used for the bajo sexto. [8] Allan Holdsworth stated that if he were to learn the guitar again he would tune it in all-fourths. [9] [10]
Standard tuning with the B tuned a half step higher to C to emulate a six-string bass guitar, minus the low B. This is an all fourths tuning. Celloblaster or Guitello – C-G-d-a-e' An all fifths tuning as used on cello or mandolin, extended to five strings.
For all-fourths tuning, all twelve major chords (in the first or open positions) are generated by two chords, the open F major chord and the D major chord. The regularity of chord-patterns reduces the number of finger positions that need to be memorized. [20] The left-handed involute of an all-fourths tuning is an all-fifths tuning.
Scales and chords are simplified by major thirds tuning and all-fourths tuning, which are regular tunings maintaining the same musical interval between consecutive open string notes. [3] When barring each fret in standard tuning, only and all of the notes of pentatonic scales are produced. For example, the open strings E, A, D, G, B, E yield ...

Augmented-fourths tuning, for example, B-F-b-f-b'-f'. Any note fingered on one string can be fingered on two other strings. Thus chords can be fingered in many ways in augmented-fourths tuning. It is also a regular tuning in which the interval between its strings is a tritone (augmented fourth). [4] A cittern tuning, such as C-G-c-g-c'-g'. [5]
