The "Come Clarity" tuning, officially designated CGD#A#FA#, presents a highly unusual and potentially challenging setup for a standard guitar. It features an extremely broad range, combining very low bass notes with exceptionally high-pitched treble strings. This combination suggests a tuning designed for specific sonic textures, possibly for heavy, atmospheric music with piercing, almost mandolin-like high-end accents, or for a custom instrument.

Technically, the tuning spans a wide tonal landscape. The lowest two strings, C2 and G2, lay down a deep, resonant foundation, forming a perfect fifth (C to G), ideal for powerful, heavy riffs and drones reminiscent of dropped metal tunings. However, the higher strings introduce a dramatically different character. D#4, A#4, F4, and A#4 are all pitched significantly higher than standard guitar notes for those strings. Specifically, D#4 for the 4th string is an octave and a semitone above a standard D3, and A#4 for the 3rd string is an octave and three semitones above a standard G3. The 1st and 3rd strings are tuned to the exact same incredibly high A#4 pitch, creating a unison that is extremely rare in guitar tunings and would likely produce a very bright, almost piercing timbre when played together or as part of a chord.

Harmonically, the open strings (C, G, D#, A#, F, A#) include the notes C, Eb, F, G, and Bb (D# is enharmonically Eb, A# is Bb). This strongly implies a C minor tonality, with C, G, and F providing roots and fifths, and D# (Eb) and A# (Bb) coloring it towards minor and dominant/subdominant sounds. Open chords will be unusual due to the high unison A#s and the close proximity of the higher string pitches (D#4, A#4, F4, A#4). A simple C minor triad (C-Eb-G) is partially available (C2, G2, D#4). Power chords on the lowest strings are readily accessible, but the higher strings' extreme tension and pitch may make traditional chord voicings difficult or impractical. The interval relationships between the high strings (D#4 to A#4 is a perfect fifth, A#4 to F4 is a tritone, F4 to A#4 is a tritone) suggest a very dissonant and bright character when strummed open.

Due to the exceptionally high pitches for strings 4, 3, 2, and 1, specifically D#4, A#4, F4, and A#4, this tuning will likely require a very specific, much lighter gauge set of strings than standard, or even a custom instrument setup to avoid string breakage and excessive neck tension. Standard guitar strings are not designed to reach these pitches without significant risk.

How to Tune (from Standard EADGBe)

To achieve the target tuning notes, follow these string movements from standard guitar tuning (E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4). Please exercise caution, especially with significant upward tuning movements, as they can cause string breakage or neck damage. For movements exceeding negative 4 or positive 4 semitones, a different gauge string is strongly advised.

• String 6 (Low E): Tune down 4 semitones from E2 to C2. Caution: Tuning down 4 semitones is significant; a heavier gauge string may be beneficial for optimal tension.
• String 5 (A): Tune down 2 semitones from A2 to G2.
• String 4 (D): Tune up 1 semitone from D3 to D#3.
• String 3 (G): Tune up 3 semitones from G3 to A#3. Caution: Tuning up 3 semitones is pushing the limit for standard strings; consider a lighter gauge.
• String 2 (B): Tune up 6 semitones from B3 to F4. Extreme Caution: Tuning up 6 semitones (a tritone) is extremely risky and likely to cause string breakage and/or neck damage on standard strings. A significantly lighter gauge string is essential.
• String 1 (High E): Tune down 6 semitones from E4 to A#3. Caution: Tuning down 6 semitones is significant; a heavier gauge string may be needed to maintain adequate tension and prevent floppiness.

Important Discrepancy Note: Please be aware that applying the above 'How to Tune' instructions from standard EADGBe tuning will result in the following notes: C2 G2 D#3 A#3 F4 A#3. This differs from the explicit target notes provided in the JSON's `tuning_notes` section (D#4, A#4, F4, A#4 for strings 4, 3, 2, 1 respectively) for strings 4, 3, and 1. The main analysis above is based on the explicitly stated `tuning_notes` (C2 G2 D#4 A#4 F4 A#4), which represent an extremely high-pitched and potentially hazardous tuning for a standard guitar. Achieving those higher `tuning_notes` would require different, more extreme upward string movements for strings 4, 3, and 1 than those listed in `string_movements`, and almost certainly specialized string gauges or a custom instrument.

String 6 (Low E string position): C2 - This is the lowest C on a piano, providing an extremely deep bass foundation.

String 5 (A string position): G2 - A deep G, forming a perfect fifth with the lowest string.

String 4 (D string position): D#4 - An exceptionally high D#, one octave and a semitone above the standard D3. This string will be under extreme tension.

String 3 (G string position): A#4 - An extraordinarily high A#, one octave and three semitones above the standard G3. This string will also be under extreme tension.

String 2 (B string position): F4 - A very high F, a minor ninth above the standard B3. Expect immense tension on this string.

String 1 (High E string position): A#4 - An incredibly high A#, a perfect fifth above the standard E4. This string is tuned to the exact same pitch as the 3rd string, creating a unison.
