Correct me if im wrong, but doesnt that mean tuning the last 3 strings up an octave? I would need lighter strings to do that, correct?....I mean the last 3 would need to be lighter. ;D

"Nashville tuning refers to replacing the wound strings with strings tuned to the same note, one octave higher. One way to accomplish this is to use only the high strings that come in a set of strings for a 12-string guitar. It is popular in Nashville studios to double acoustic guitar parts with this tuning, hence the name." (From www.tabcrawler.com/articles.php?action=readarticle&articleid=1. Good info in there about other alternate tunings, string fatigue, etc.) Also, David Hodge's article "Double Your Pleasure" on Guitar Noise (my "other favorite GN") mentions it. There's even a little diagram of what standard tuning, Nashville tuning, and David Gilmour's version of Nashville on Pink Floyd's "Hey You" look like in standard notation. The Stones' "Wild Horses" was done with Nashville tuning, too. www.guitarnoise.com/article.php?id=75I hadn't looked at that article for awhile. Thanks for getting me pointed back to that, guys.  |
