High C – E-A-d-g-c' Standard tuning with the B tuned a half step higher to C to emulate a six-string bass guitar, minus the low B.

3. C6 tuning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C6_tuning

   C6 tuning is one of the most common tunings for steel guitar, both on single and multiple neck instruments. On a twin-neck, the most common set-up is C6 tuning on the near neck and E9 tuning on the far neck. 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 ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_tunings

   The diagonal movement of chords is especially simple for the regular tunings that are repetitive, in which case chords can be moved vertically: Chords can be moved three strings up (or down) in major-thirds tuning, and chords can be moved two strings up (or down) in augmented-fourths tuning. Regular tunings thus appeal to new guitarists and ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_chord

   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. For example, in the guitar (like other stringed instruments but unlike the piano ), open-string notes are not fretted and so require less hand-motion.

7. Six-string alto guitar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-string_alto_guitar

   Terz guitar (Terz meaning third) refers to either a small sized classical guitar or to the practice of tuning a standard guitar a minor third higher than standard guitar tuning (as though a capo were on the third fret of the guitar). The scale length is generally 530 mm (20.8 inches), though sometimes as long as 560 mm (22 inches).

8. Partial capo - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_capo

   A common example is a capo which covers the top five strings of a guitar, leaving the bass E string not capoed. When played at the second fret, this appears to create a drop D tuning (where the bass E string is tuned to a D) raised one full tone in pitch. In fact, these are often marketed as "drop D capos".

9. Regular tuning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_tuning

   The shifting of chords is especially simple for the regular tunings that repeat their open strings, in which case chords can be moved vertically: Chords can be moved three strings up (or down) in major-thirds tuning, [3] and chords can be moved two strings up (or down) in augmented-fourths tuning. Regular tunings thus appeal to new guitarists ...
