BD#BCFB | BE♭BCFB Njute - Guitar tuning, chords & scales
The "njute" tuning, designated for a standard Guitar, presents a unique and deeply resonant sonic landscape. While the provided descriptor "ujujaclus toxoticus trizuzantinomicon" offers an imaginative, almost mystical, characterization, the tuning itself leans into the experimental and heavy realms.
Verbal Analysis
This tuning plunges the guitar into an exceptionally low register, anchored by a formidable B1 on the 6th string. This low end provides a powerful, almost baritone, foundation. The open strings, from low to high (B1 D#3 B2 C3 F3 B3), create a striking array of intervals. There are repeating B notes (B1, B2, B3) which can act as a strong drone or root, but the immediate adjacency of B2 and C3 (a minor second interval) on strings 4 and 3 introduces a distinct dissonance. This suggests a tuning well-suited for heavy, sludgy riffs, atmospheric soundscapes, or compositions that intentionally explore harmonic tension and cluster voicings rather than traditional open major or minor chords. It would be challenging to find conventional open chords within this setup, encouraging a more fretting-intensive or single-note approach. The tritone between F3 and B3 on the top two strings further contributes to its unique and often unsettling character.
Technical Analysis
- Instrument Type: Guitar
- Tuning Name: njute
- Open String Notes (Low to High): B1, D#3, B2, C3, F3, B3
- Interval Analysis (from String 6 B1):
- String 6 (B1): Root
- String 5 (D#3): Major 10th (Major 3rd an octave up)
- String 4 (B2): Octave
- String 3 (C3): Minor 9th (Minor 2nd an octave up) - This half-step creates significant harmonic tension with the B2.
- String 2 (F3): Perfect 11th (Perfect 4th an octave up)
- String 1 (B3): Double Octave (or Major 15th) - Also an Augmented 4th (Tritone) above F3.
- The tuning's structure emphasizes a low B foundation and utilizes dissonant intervals (minor 2nd between B2 and C3, tritone between F3 and B3), making it ideal for experimental genres, ambient textures, or very heavy music where chord voicings are constructed rather than relying on open string harmony.
How to Tune Your Guitar to njute
To achieve the "njute" tuning from standard EADGBe, follow these specific string adjustments. Please note the significant drops in pitch for most strings, which may require a heavier gauge string set for optimal tension and intonation.
- 6th String (Low E): Tune down 5 semitones to B1. Caution: Tuning down 5 semitones is a significant change. A heavier gauge string is advised for best results.
- 5th String (A): Tune down 6 semitones to D#3. Caution: Tuning down 6 semitones is a substantial change. A heavier gauge string is advised for best results.
- 4th String (D): Tune down 3 semitones to B2.
- 3rd String (G): Tune down 7 semitones to C3. Caution: Tuning down 7 semitones (a perfect fifth) is a very large change. A heavier gauge string is strongly advised for stability and playability.
- 2nd String (B): Tune down 6 semitones to F3. Caution: Tuning down 6 semitones is a substantial change. A heavier gauge string is advised for best results.
- 1st String (High E): Tune down 5 semitones to B3. Caution: Tuning down 5 semitones is a significant change. A heavier gauge string is advised for best results.
Remember to always tune carefully and gradually. If you experience excessive string looseness or intonation issues, consider consulting a guitar technician or using a specialized string set designed for low tunings.
6th String: Tuned to B1 (a perfect fourth below standard Low E2).
5th String: Tuned to D#3 (an augmented fourth/tritone above standard A2).
4th String: Tuned to B2 (a minor third below standard D3).
3rd String: Tuned to C3 (a perfect fifth below standard G3).
2nd String: Tuned to F3 (an augmented fourth/tritone below standard B3).
1st String: Tuned to B3 (a perfect fourth below standard High E4).
