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).
English: 1The new standard tuning of Robert Fripp and his Guitar Craft (Guitar Circle)—also called C-major pentatonic tuning or Guitar Craft tuning ("Crafty" tuning). The diagrams provide basic chords for a beginning guitarist. With the accompanying audio files (especially the WAV file), the chords sample the harmonic palette of new standard ...
Octave tuning – E-A-D-G-B-E Six full steps (one octave) down from standard tuning. The Low E has the same fundamental frequency as a bass guitar, essentially the same standard tuning as a bass guitar but with a high B and E added to mimic a regular guitar. This tuning is used on the Fender Bass VI and similar instruments.
Standard tuning mixes a major third (M3) with its perfect fourths. Regular tunings that are based on either major thirds or perfect fourths are used, for example, in jazz. All fourths tuning E 2 –A 2 –D 3 –G 3 –C 4 –F 4 keeps the lowest four strings of standard tuning, changing the major third to a perfect fourth.
Learning NST enabled guitarists to experience playing the guitar as a beginner, albeit usually a sophisticated beginner. At Guitar Craft seminars and courses, students work exclusively in NST. For new GC students, NST is unfamiliar, and so all students have the same experience of renewing their guitar playing while having difficulty adjusting ...
Low E falls a major third above the C on a standard-tuned cello. Renaissance lute – E 2 A 2 D 3 F♯ 3 B 3 E 4 (used by classical guitarists for certain pieces; identical to standard guitar tuning, except for the F♯, lowered one semitone from the standard G string, placing the major third between 3rd and 4th rather than 2nd and 3rd strings)
If the octave is also to be indicated, use either Helmholtz pitch notation, as in E–A–d–g–b–e′ for the guitar, or scientific pitch notation, as in E 2 –A 2 –D 3 –G 3 –B 3 –E 4. Although the expert will instantly recognise either of these for what it is, for the benefit of the general reader a link should be provided to the ...
have a designated standard tuning (e.g., violin; guitar) have more than one tuning considered "standard" (e.g. mejorana, ukulele) do not have a standard tuning but rather a "common" tuning that is used more frequently than others (e.g., banjo; lap steel guitar)
