Mi-composé is a tuning commonly used for rhythm guitar in African popular music forms such as soukous and makossa. [61] It is similar to the standard guitar tuning, except that the d string is raised an entire octave. This is accomplished by replacing the d string with an e' string and tuning it to d'.
Choice of a particular tuning implies a suitable stringing and setup, so for example if a pedal steel guitar is described as having E9 tuning this also implies an E9 string set and copedent. In many cases several related tunings share a common name, either for different instruments or the same one.

The Tune-O-Matic bridge has been replaced with a gold one. The most recent videos of Buckethead playing in the summer of 2009 show he has reverted back to a Les Paul with a white headstock. He has replaced the square killswitches with round arcade style buttons.
Standard tuning is the tuning most frequently used on a six-string guitar and musicians assume this tuning by default if a specific alternate (or scordatura) is not mentioned. In scientific pitch notation, [4] the guitar's standard tuning consists of the following notes: E 2 –A 2 –D 3 –G 3 –B 3 –E 4.
All-fifths tuning is a tuning in intervals of perfect fifths like that of a mandolin, cello or violin; other names include "perfect fifths" and "fifths". [25] Consequently, classical compositions written for violin or guitar may be adapted to all-fifths tuning more easily than to standard tuning.
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).
In comparison with standard tuning, each major-chord open-string tuning reinforces different "overtones and can actually make the guitar sound louder and more resonant". [3] To explain this resonance and strengthened sound, the example of the overtones on C has been used; and C's overtones is a standard example for explaining the sequence of ...
