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).
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.
Standard Choro tuning – C-E-A-d-g-b-e' Standard seven-string tuning for Brazilian choro. Drop D + B 7-string tuning – B'-D-A-d-g-b-e' Standard seven-string tuning with the low E dropped to D, which results in a minor 3rd interval between the two lowest strings of B and D. Used by Ed Sloan of Crossfade.

By convention, the notes are ordered from lowest to highest. The standard tuning defines the string pitches as E, A, D, G, B, and E. Between the open-strings of the standard tuning are three perfect-fourths (E–A, A–D, D–G), then the major third G–B, and the fourth perfect-fourth B–E.
Among guitar tunings, all-fifths tuning refers to the set of tunings in which each interval between consecutive open strings is a perfect fifth. All-fifths tuning is also called fifths, perfect fifths, or mandoguitar. [1] The conventional "standard tuning" consists of perfect fourths and a single major third between the g and b strings: E-A-d-g ...
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 ...
Also, for a 6-string guitar, drop A tuning is achieved by tuning all strings down a 4th with the lowest string tuned 1 additional step down as follows A1-E2-A2-D3-F#3-B3. This is a "drop 1" tuning in the key of B (i.e. tune the whole guitar down a perfect fourth from standard tuning , then tune the 6th string a whole step down).
