AC#EAC#E Guitar Tuner

AC#EAC#E | ADâ™­EADâ™­E Ace - Guitar tuning, chords & scales

Description - Ace

use it to play some kgwl songs

The 'ace' tuning for Guitar is a vibrant and resonant Open A Major tuning, setting a bright and full harmonic foundation. As described, it's particularly suited for "kgwl songs," hinting at its potential for experimental, psychedelic, or progressive rock styles, where unconventional tunings can unlock unique sonic textures.

Technical Breakdown:

This tuning transforms your standard EADGBe into an A C# E A C# E, creating an A Major chord across all six open strings. This allows for rich, full-bodied chords with minimal effort, making it ideal for slide guitar, blues, folk, and rock genres. The strategic placement of root (A), third (C#), and fifth (E) across multiple octaves—from the deep A2 on the low string to the ringing E4 on the high string—produces a shimmering, expansive sound.

The individual string notes, from lowest to highest pitch, are A2, E3, A3, C#4, E4, C#5. While the overall effect is an A Major chord, the specific order of the strings (e.g., the 4th string E3 is lower in pitch than the 5th string C#4, and the 1st string E4 is lower than the 2nd string C#5) creates unique intervals between adjacent strings. This non-sequential pitch order adds to its unique character, providing interesting voicings and harmonic possibilities when individual strings are plucked or arpeggiated.

With the open strings forming an A Major chord, common chord shapes are easily accessible:

  • Barre Chords: Sliding a single finger or a capo across all six strings will produce other Major chords (e.g., barre at the 2nd fret for B Major, 3rd fret for C Major).
  • Minor Chords: Minor chords can be achieved by flattening the 3rd (C#) down to a minor 3rd (C) on the 5th and 2nd strings, often by fretting at the 11th fret on the 5th string and the 10th fret on the 2nd string, or by using specific fingerings for other inversions.
  • Dominant 7th Chords: By adding a G natural (flat 7th) to the open A Major, you can easily create an A7 chord, which is fundamental for blues and rock.

How to Tune:

To achieve the 'ace' tuning from standard EADGBe, follow these steps:

  • 6th String (Low E): Tune up 5 semitones to A2. Caution: Tuning up 5 semitones is a significant increase in string tension. A heavier gauge string is strongly advised for optimal performance, to prevent premature string breakage, and to maintain proper intonation.
  • 5th String (A): Tune up 4 semitones to C#4. Caution: Tuning up 4 semitones is a significant increase in string tension. A heavier gauge string is strongly advised for optimal performance, to prevent premature string breakage, and to maintain proper intonation.
  • 4th String (D): Tune up 2 semitones to E3.
  • 3rd String (G): Tune up 2 semitones to A3.
  • 2nd String (B): Tune up 2 semitones to C#5.
  • 1st String (High E): Keep as is; no change (0 semitones) to E4.

Always tune carefully and incrementally, listening closely, to avoid putting undue stress on your instrument or strings. Consider a professional setup if you frequently switch to tunings with significant tension changes.
