BEG#A#G#G | BEA♭B♭A♭G My Guitar Tune - Guitar tuning, chords & scales
Verbal Analysis:
This is a profoundly unique and exceptionally low tuning for the guitar, which we've named "Deep Octave Chromatic Drone." It pushes the instrument's range far beyond standard, descending into what would typically be bass territory, particularly with the bottom two strings tuned to B0 and E1. This setup suggests a very specific sonic intention, likely aimed at creating a massive, resonant low end for genres that demand extreme depth or extended range. The clustered nature of the higher strings (G2#, A3#, G3#, G3) creates a tight, almost chromatic core, offering opportunities for dissonant voicings, subtle melodic movements, or rich, complex drones. As described, this tuning is specifically tailored "for specific genre what i playing in it," highlighting its specialized and unconventional approach.
Technical Analysis:
- Root Note: The lowest note, B0, establishes an incredibly deep foundation, two octaves below the typical low E string (E2) of a standard guitar. This note is often found on extended-range bass instruments.
- Intervals & Voicings:
- String 6 (B0) to String 5 (E1): A Perfect Fourth (5 semitones), a common interval for bass strings.
- String 5 (E1) to String 4 (G2#): A Major Tenth (16 semitones), or a Major Third across octaves. This creates a significant jump in pitch.
- String 4 (G2#) to String 3 (A3#): A Major Ninth (14 semitones), or a Major Second across octaves. Another wide interval.
- String 3 (A3#) to String 2 (G3#): A Descending Minor Second (1 semitone down). This, along with the subsequent interval, creates a tight, chromatic cluster.
- String 2 (G3#) to String 1 (G3): A Descending Minor Second (1 semitone down).
- Open Chords & Accessible Shapes: The open strings (B0-E1-G2#-A3#-G3#-G3) do not readily form a conventional major or minor triad, or any common dominant chord. The unique cluster of G#-A#-G#-G on the higher strings, alongside the G# on the 4th string, suggests that this tuning is not optimized for standard open chord voicings. Instead, it is highly suited for creating thick, sustained drones, dissonant textures, or heavy power chords on the extremely low strings (B0-E1). Melodic lines, arpeggios, or very specific, tailored fingerings would be used to achieve desired harmonic effects within the intended genre.
How to Tune "Deep Octave Chromatic Drone"
Achieving this tuning requires significant adjustments from standard guitar tuning and will almost certainly necessitate a change in string gauge for most strings, especially given the extreme low notes and substantial tuning drops. Please proceed with caution and consider professional setup for optimal performance and to prevent potential damage to your instrument.
- String 6 (Lowest String, normally E): Tune to B0. This string must be tuned down 12 semitones from its starting pitch. Given this is a drop of an entire octave, a significantly heavier gauge string is strongly advised to maintain tension and avoid a muddy sound.
- String 5 (Normally A): Tune to E1. This string must be tuned down 12 semitones from its starting pitch. Similar to string 6, an octave drop requires a much heavier string gauge for optimal tension and tone.
- String 4 (Normally D): Tune to G2#. This string must be tuned down 13 semitones from its starting pitch. This extreme drop of over an octave necessitates a much heavier string gauge to prevent excessive looseness and ensure playability.
- String 3 (Normally G): Tune to A3#. This string must be tuned down 4 semitones from its starting pitch. This significant drop may benefit from a slightly heavier gauge string to maintain good tension and intonation.
- String 2 (Normally B): Tune to G3#. This string must be tuned down 11 semitones from its starting pitch. Another drop exceeding an octave, requiring a much heavier gauge string for proper feel and sound.
- String 1 (Highest String, normally E): Tune to G3. This string must be tuned down 9 semitones from its starting pitch. This substantial drop, close to an octave, will very likely require a heavier gauge string to ensure proper tension and sound quality.
- String 6: B0 (Extremely low, often found on bass guitars or extended-range instruments)
- String 5: E1 (Very low, deep fundamental)
- String 4: G2# (A distinct, deep major third above E1)
- String 3: A3# (An octave above G2#, forming a minor second interval with G3#)
- String 2: G3# (Tight, chromatic cluster with A3# and G3)
- String 1: G3 (The highest string, completing the chromatic cluster with G3#)
