CFDFA#F | CFDFB♭F CFDFAF - Guitar tuning, chords & scales

Description - CFDFAF

Just something I came up with based off a nick drake tuning

Verbal Analysis

This intriguing tuning, named "Deep F Drone", offers a rich and resonant soundscape, drawing inspiration from the open and often melancholic tunings favored by artists like Nick Drake. The presence of multiple F notes throughout the strings creates a powerful, sustained drone, providing a foundational warmth. The low C and F, combined with a D and an A# (Bb), lend themselves to a spacious, sometimes bluesy or modal feel. It encourages a fingerstyle approach, allowing individual notes to ring out and blend into complex, atmospheric harmonies. The overall character is likely to be contemplative and deeply resonant, perfect for expressive arpeggios and open chord voicings.

Technical Analysis

The tuning notes are C2-F2-D3-F3-A4#-F4 (from low E to high E string). This open configuration presents a complex, rich harmony. The notes C, D, F, and A# (enharmonically Bb) are present. This collection of notes can be interpreted in several ways:

  • As an F suspended 4th chord with an added 9th over a C bass (Fsus4add9/C), highlighting the strong F drone and the Bb (A#) suspension.
  • As a Bb Major 7th chord with an added C (Bbmaj7addC), where Bb-D-F-A forms the core, and A# is Bb.
  • The repeated F notes (F2, F3, F4) are key to the drone quality, providing a consistent tonal center.
  • The interval relationships are particularly interesting: C2 to F2 is a perfect 4th, D3 to F3 is a minor 3rd, and F3 to A4# (Bb4) is a perfect 4th. The presence of these fourths and the A# (Bb) creates a strong modal or bluesy flavor.

This tuning readily facilitates chords such as:

  • Open Chord Voicings: The open strings themselves form a rich, complex sonority (C-F-D-F-A#-F) which can serve as a foundation for many pieces.
  • Fsus4 chords: Due to the strong F and Bb (A#) presence, Fsus4 (F-Bb-C) will be very accessible with minimal fretting.
  • F Major/Minor variants: Simple finger placements around the open Fs can easily yield F major, F minor, or F-based extended chords.
  • Bb Major chords: Given the D, F, and A# (Bb) notes, Bb major-based harmonies (Bb-D-F) are naturally embedded within the tuning.
  • The open nature of the tuning makes it ideal for creating droning arpeggios and rich, sustained textures, perfect for a contemplative and atmospheric style of playing.

How to Tune

Begin by tuning your guitar from standard E-A-D-G-B-e:

  • 6th String (Low E): Tune down 4 semitones to C2. Note: Dropping this string by 4 semitones is significant; consider a heavier gauge string if you plan to use this tuning frequently.
  • 5th String (A): Tune down 4 semitones to F2. Note: Similar to the 6th string, a heavier gauge may be beneficial for stability.
  • 4th String (D): Keep as is; no change is required. Remains at D3.
  • 3rd String (G): Tune down 2 semitones to F3.
  • 2nd String (B): Tune down 1 semitone to A#3 (or Bb3). Important Note: The target note listed in the tuning's full description is A4#, which is an octave higher than A#3. However, based strictly on the provided 'string_movements' data of tuning down 1 semitone from standard B3, the resulting note is A#3. Please be aware of this potential discrepancy.
  • 1st String (High E): Tune up 1 semitone to F4.


The notes for this tuning, from the thickest (6th) string to the thinnest (1st) string, are:

  • 6th String: C2
  • 5th String: F2
  • 4th String: D3
  • 3rd String: F3
  • 2nd String: A4#
  • 1st String: F4
