Description - CAGADA

CAGADA tuning only trying

The CAGADA tuning for guitar presents a deeply resonant and open soundscape, deviating significantly from standard EADGBe tuning. It features a low 'C' on the 6th string, which immediately establishes a darker, more drone-like foundation. The core of this tuning, C-A-G-A-D-A, is built around perfect fifths and fourths, coupled with repeated 'A' notes across three different octaves, creating a rich, ringing sustain.

Technical Analysis:

  • String 6 (Low E to C2): Dropped a significant 4 semitones from standard E2. This low C provides a powerful, almost orchestral bass foundation, ideal for rhythmic, droning patterns or heavy riffing.
  • String 5 (A to A2): Remains at its standard pitch (A2), serving as a stable anchor within the tuning.
  • String 4 (D to G3): Raised a considerable 5 semitones from standard D3. This dramatic shift brings the D string up to G, creating a perfect fifth with the low C, or a perfect fourth with the A string below it. Extreme caution or a lighter gauge string is advised for this adjustment.
  • String 3 (G to A3): Raised 2 semitones from standard G3. This creates an octave with the 5th string (A) and a perfect fourth with the 4th string (G).
  • String 2 (B to D4): Raised 3 semitones from standard B3. This significant increase from B to D creates a perfect fifth with the A on string 3, further expanding the harmonic possibilities. Caution is advised due to increased string tension.
  • String 1 (High E to A4): Raised a substantial 5 semitones from standard E4. This brings the high E string up to A, creating another octave with the A on string 3 and a perfect fifth with the D on string 2. Similar to string 4, this is a major change requiring caution or a lighter gauge.

Harmonic Potential & Chords:

The open strings C2-A2-G3-A3-D4-A4 form a very open and harmonically rich cluster. The repeated 'A' notes (A2, A3, A4) create a vibrant, sustained resonance, while the 'C', 'G', and 'D' notes emphasize strong fifth relationships (C-G, G-D). This configuration does not form a simple major or minor triad but rather evokes complex, suspended, or 'add' chords. When strummed open, it creates a sound akin to a Cadd9sus4 (C G D A) or an Am11 (A C D G) without the natural 3rd (E). The tuning lends itself exceptionally well to:

  • Drone-based music: The low C and multiple A's provide excellent platforms for sustained harmonic textures.
  • Fingerstyle: The open intervals and ringing strings can be exploited for intricate melodic and percussive patterns.
  • Slide guitar: The open, consonant intervals make it highly suitable for slide playing, allowing for smooth glides and sustained chords.
  • Experimental & Ambient music: Its unique harmonic structure can inspire unconventional chord voicings and soundscapes.

This tuning requires an adventurous approach, rewarding players with unique tonal colors and extensive harmonic possibilities beyond standard voicings.

How to Tune (from Standard EADGBe):

  • String 6 (Low E): Tune down 4 semitones to C2. (Original note E2. Note: This is a significant drop; ensure proper string tension.)
  • String 5 (A): Keep as is; no change (0 semitones) to A2. (Original note A2.)
  • String 4 (D): Tune up 5 semitones to G3. (Original note D3. Note: This is a substantial rise; caution or a lighter gauge string is advised.)
  • String 3 (G): Tune up 2 semitones to A3. (Original note G3.)
  • String 2 (B): Tune up 3 semitones to D4. (Original note B3. Note: This is a significant rise; caution is advised.)
  • String 1 (High E): Tune up 5 semitones to A4. (Original note E4. Note: This is a substantial rise; caution or a lighter gauge string is advised.)
