C standard tuning1/17/2024 ![]() Study note relationships rather than specific note clusters in chords and scales. This is just to get your bearings and is exactly the same process I teach students using standard E tuning.īeyond these root note reference points, study intervals rather than notes. With scales, after you've learned the notes across each string, you should be able to find the low root note positions for the most common scale patterns, and my lessons can be understood in exactly the same way, because I use interval labels rather than the notes themselves.įor example, a major scale pattern rooted at the 5th fret in C standard tuning would make it an F major scale because the low C string at the 5th fret is F.Ī harmonic minor pattern rooted at the 9th fret would be A harmonic minor because the low C string at the 9th fret is A. Open D major/minor becomes open A#/Bb major/minor Open E major/minor becomes open C major/minor With chords, start back at those open position chords. ![]() ![]() Starting with the open strings, you should be able to work this out and learn in the same time frame as E standard tuning. So I would start by learning the notes across the fretboard. The only thing new to learn is the notes across each string up the fretboard, as this will give you a reference point for, say, finding the root note of a given scale or chord. I didn't realize it might bite me in the (b)ass, to slow my development.įirstly, if you like the tuning, stick with it.Īs you're still in a form of standard tuning (so the same relative tuning as E A D G B e, albeit 2 whole steps down) the actual scale patterns and chord shapes/forms remain exactly the same. I know now that I should have learned it when I started playing Guitar 10 years ago but didn't, believing it would hinder my talent & staunch my creativity. Is there a simpler way to do it or would it be best for me to re-tune to standard & learn the standard scale & chords completely? I recently started studying the standard scale & trying to reverse translate it, but am having a hard time with it. I like this particular tuning & don't want to stop using it, as everything I play & do is set to it, helping me develop my tone. Now I find it difficult sometimes to locate scales & chords as quickly or easily as I should. Unfortunately, I did not take the time to learn the standard scales & chords before I changed tunings. The more you tune to that tuning, the faster and better the tuner will complete that tunings due to the learning algorithm.I tune my Guitar to C Standard (all strings down 2 whole notes) from low to high: Should you encounter any issues, tune in Single String Mode (push and HOLD Enter at selection of White A). Low C tuning is White bank A LED, Enter to activate Multi String Tuning, the tuner will perform the approach, now strum and let vibrate all strings for 3-5 sec., then mute all strings and pick the ones that are not in tune only. Now press UP or DWN consequently to toggle between the 6 banks (Red, Green, Blue / White, Yellow and Magenta) Press ENTER.ģ.Use LEFT/RIGHT button to activate low tunings and additional preset banks ( e B G LEDs flash GREEN ) or to deactivate low tunings and addition-al preset banks ( D A E LEDs flash RED ).Ĥ.Press ENTER = low tuning/additional banks settings stored.ĥ.Press and hold ON to switch off the tuner.Ħ.Press ON two times for tuning selection. Press the LEFT/RIGHT button to select the YELLOW G LED. Press the LEFT/RIGHT button to select YELLOW D. However, you can also convert any of these tuning preset banks to store presets.ġ.When the GForce is switched off, press ON three times. The MAGENTA bank and the BLUE bank, defaults to be write-enabled for storing user tuning presets. The WHITE and YELLOW banks default to write-protected presets for low tunings (heavier gauge strings are recommended). This function activates three additional tuning preset banks. Unblocks three additional tuning preset banks ![]() You have to activate the low tunings banks:ĪCTIVATE LOW TUNINGS AND/OR ADDI-TIONAL USER TUNING PRESET BANKS Looking at the instructions there is no "press this 3 times, press this 2 times" style directions for C standard. I've installed thicker strings to have one lower tuned guitar.
