The advantage of these tunings is that they allow an extended upper note range versus a capo used with standard tuning which limits the number of notes that can be played; in some cases, instruo B ♭ or E ♭ (such as saxophones, which were frequently encountered in early rock and roll music) are more easily played when the accompanying guitar ...

A tuning is a sequence of pitches to which the strings are tuned. A stringing is a set of string gauges (and very occasionally other string parameters) that support one or more tunings.
