This allows for the note range of B standard tuning without transposing E standard guitar chords down two and a half steps down. Baritone 7-string guitars are available which features a longer scale-length allowing it to be tuned to a lower range.

Baritone tuning. B Tuning or B Standard Tuning is the standard tuning for a seven string guitar, where the strings are tuned B-E-A-D-G-B-E. B tuning can also be achieved on a six-string guitar, when the strings are tuned B-E-A-D-F♯-B, known then as Baritone Tuning. This tuning is popular among several different types of metal bands.
In standard tuning, there is an interval of a major third between the second and third strings, and all the other intervals are fourths. 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.
Since standard tuning is most commonly used, expositions of guitar chords emphasize the implementation of musical chords on guitars with standard tuning. The implementation of chords using particular tunings is a defining part of the literature on guitar chords, which is omitted in the abstract musical-theory of chords for all instruments.
Tab lines may be numbered 1 through 6 instead, representing standard string numbering, where "1" is the high E string, "2" is the B string, etc. Also, the order of lines is not standardized. Some tablature is written in pitch order, with the high "e" string on top, and descending in pitch order to the low "E" string on the bottom.
A standard guitar's standard tuning (from lowest–pitched string to highest) is E2–A2–D3–G3–B3–E4. While no standard tuning has been established for baritone guitars, popular tunings for the instrument are: a perfect fourth lower than a standard guitar (B1–E2–A2–D3–F ♯ 3–B3), a perfect fifth lower (A1–D2–G2–C3–E3–A3), or a major third lower (C2–F2–B ♭ 2 ...
Open B Tuning is an open tuning for guitar. The open string notes in this tuning are B-F ♯-B-F ♯-B-D ♯. It uses the three notes that form the triad of a B major chord: B, the root note; F ♯, the perfect fifth; and D ♯, the major third. When the guitar is strummed without fretting any of the strings, a B major chord is sounded. This ...
Baritone (older use) / 6 string bass (older use) such as the Fender Bass VI – E 1 A 1 D 2 G 2 B 2 E 3 (Similar to a standard guitar but an octave lower, and often played like a standard guitar rather than a bass guitar.) Baritone guitar (contemporary versions) – B 1 E 2 A 2 D 3 F♯ 3 B 3 a fourth below standard tuning, although A 1 to A 3 ...
