Why we are still on this maybe you guys know why. Have some classical stuff and the G is tuned to F#, the rest of the strings to standard, is this some kind of Lute tuning?

Shucks -- another guitar teacher who is too busy to show me the way. I guess I'm doomed to a life of altered tunings.
But is there no chance that I could borrow someone's baritone? I mean there must be quite a few lying around someone's home because I never see them in the stores -- they must have all been sold. I guess I'm always last to learn of these new developments in guitars. I suppose next thing you will tell me is that I can find a short scale Tacoma tuned up to standard (in A) to simulate even higher pitched altered tunings. Yep, I'm always the last to know.

Mr. Flake, sir, I for one learned quite a bit about tunings from this thread, but I think before it gets downright mean, maybe it needs to be put to rest.

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the six strings we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes. jawbone, How True this is!!! I hope you don't mind but I used this analogy tonight in a Meeting |

<snip> I suppose next thing you will tell me is that I can find a short scale Tacoma tuned up to standard (in A) to simulate even higher pitched altered tunings. Yep, I'm always the last to know. Yeah...now that would be something...wait...I've got one of these for sale...but it's never lived in a standard tuning relationship...it's always been in an elevated (pitch-wise) form of DADGAD. I like that; "elevated." I'm still trying to figure out how someone can think that a Baritone tuned to a standard -tuning relationship allows for open and closed voicings that can be identical to a "regular" scale guitar tuned to CGDGAD. Let me know if you (or anyone else!) can make any progress on that concept, Tim! |

I'm with Don on this. I suggest that we let this drop before tempers rise even higher. There is some good stuff in here. Let's let it rest.

There's a lot of good stuff in here, so it belongs in the library.

hey
instead of tuning the A or fifth string to the fifth fret on the E, tune it to the seventh fret on the E. simple as that.

correct me if I am wrong but the D string is the 4th string I believe not the 3rd which I believe is the G string. A flat picker extraordinary I know uses Drop D and a Full out D and G. you can see his videos on Youtube if you look for Brad Davis. I have no affiliation with Brad other than having known him for about 30 years.
