ponty Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Ok...I admit to having zero musical theory.I am learning a piece in Tab by Martin Talsrom from YouTube. The actual fingering is managable, the guitar tuning is a little starnge. The tuning is from low to high - F - A# - D - F - A# - D#. I would prefer not to increase the string tension, or use a tuner. What is this tuning and is there another tuning I could use with the same intervals? I hpoe this make sense to someone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponty Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Thanks Rich...It looks easier to get to. When I used a capo and a tuner, to get to the original it sounded like an open chord except for the 1st string. What open chord is it? Thanks for the tuning..I m on to now.

I hpoe this make sense to someone! no way to get around the need for a tuner with some alternate tunings, That is one of the strangest tunings I think I've seen. Very nice piece tho. The tension wont really bother anything on the guitar so don't sweat that, you still need the tension created with these varied tunings. So to use those fingers, that tuning has to be in place.
