This "Math Rocky vibe" tuning is specifically designed to facilitate intricate two-hand tapping and open-string resonant textures, making it ideal for the math rock genre.

Technical Analysis:

The open tuning presents as D-A-D-A-D-F#, which forms a comprehensive D Major chord across all six strings (D2 A2 D3 A3 D4 F5#). This configuration offers a highly resonant and consistent harmonic foundation.

• Root and Fifth Repetition: The dominant D-A-D-A-D pattern provides a strong sense of tonality and allows for easy power chords and drones on the lower strings. The repeated D and A notes across octaves create a thick, layered sound.
• Major Third Interval: The highest string, F5#, provides the crucial major third above the root D, completing the D Major triad with a bright, shimmering top voice.
• Tapping Friendliness: The consistent intervals and octave repetitions make this tuning exceptionally well-suited for two-hand tapping techniques. Patterns can often be mirrored or easily extended across different string sets.

Open Chords and Shapes:

• The open strings themselves form a rich D Major chord, allowing for immediate harmonic resonance.
• Barring across any fret will naturally yield a major chord corresponding to that fret (e.g., barring all strings at the 3rd fret produces an F Major chord).
• Easy access to Dsus2, Dsus4, Dadd9, and D6 chords through simple fingerings, leveraging the open D and A notes.
• The intervals also support interesting arpeggios and melodic phrases that move across the neck with relative ease.

How to Tune:

To achieve the "Math Rocky vibe" tuning from standard EADGBe, follow these steps:

• 6th String (Low E): Tune down 2 semitones from E2 to D2.
• 5th String (A): Keep as is; no change (0 semitones) from A2 to A2.
• 4th String (D): Keep as is; no change (0 semitones) from D3 to D3.
• 3rd String (G): Tune up 2 semitones from G3 to A3.
• 2nd String (B): Tune up 3 semitones from B3 to D4. Please exercise caution when tuning up 3 semitones. For changes exceeding 4 semitones (up or down), a different string gauge is generally advised.
• 1st String (High E): Tune up 2 semitones from E4 to F5#.
