  2. So, E2 (lowest of your guitar) would be a third above C2 in the image above. A2 would a sixth above the C2 etc. Generally, if you simply say you tune your guitar to E,A,D,G,B,E (without the numbers), it's the same thing. People with still understand you. But if you want to tell someone the exact octave of a note, you can use the aforementioned ...

    I've been spending a lot of time with this on my Dobro. b0b's D/G six string version. It's a quick retune to and from the standard high bass G. I also have it on a Fessendeon 6 Shooter with A and B pedals. High D A F# D B G Low

    I recently acquired a 12 string guitar. What kind of strings should I get so the octave higher strings won't break? My electronic tuner is made for a 6 string guitar. Is there a special guitar tuner for a 12 string guitar?

  5. A Fender-style guitar has a scale length of 25 and 1/2 inches (648mm). There are "baritone" 6-string and 7-string and 8-string guitars on the market with scale lengths of anything from 26 inches to 30 inches (762mm). Depending on the model, these guitars are designed to be tuned as far as a full octave below the low E on a standard-scale guitar.

  6. The guitar mode, I infer, is locked to the standard open-string tunings of a guitar: EBGDAE. D is the fourth string, hence 4D; 6E refers to the 6th string, bottom E. Some tuners also allow you to choose which note you are aiming for.

  7. I need help in guitar tuning: tuner says I'm off by fourths

    Most 7-strings have the lowest string tuned to B, and the remaining 6 strings tuned as a regular guitar. When you say all strings are off by a fourth (which is the tuning interval between guitar strings), this sounds like it's a possibility. So if the guitar does have 7 strings, you should expect the second string to be tuned to E, not the first.

    But, they have to be in different programs. For example, I have my own combined Newman Sweetened tunings for E9th and C6th that combine opens/pedals/knees into one program. That is one program minus the E9th 4th String F# raise and 4th string D# lowers which have to be in a separate program as the offsets are different for same note.

    The left-most chart shows you normal tensions on a normal set tuned to E standard (An extremely common 6-string guitar tuning). The tensions of each string hover between 11 and 16 lbs of pull for each one. With a 16" scale length that tension is drastically reduced to about 4 or 6 lbs of pull on each string.

    I lower the 1st string to D and the 3rd string to G and then it becomes a G6th tuning (BDEGBD) which I find myself using a little more than the E7th. I like the E7 for the more rock or blues edged things. Also, I can do some things in the E tuning with the 1st string lowered to D for a high dom7 and keeping the E triad on strings 2, 3 & 4.

    Learning what Doug mentioned in a previous post about skipping the third string in C6 (unless you want the sound it produces) helps me play along with a lot of music more easily. I may give A6 a try too though, sounds interesting. _____ GFI SM10 3/4, 1937 Gibson EH-150, 2 - Rondo SX Lap Steels and a Guyatone 6 String C6. Peavey 400 and a Roland ...
