D#GA#FA#D# | E♭GB♭FB♭E♭ Ramen Tuning - Guitar tuning, chords & scales
The creator describes this tuning as "i made it myself out of the poetic tuning, lowering it by 2 semitones and sharpening the d stringimo it sounds better that way." This unique "Ramen Tuning" diverges significantly from standard guitar voicings, offering a distinct sonic landscape for exploration.
Verbal Analysis
This tuning presents a deeply resonant and somewhat dark character, with most strings lowered from standard EADGBe. The lowest pitch, G2 on the 5th string, creates a powerful, rumbling foundation. The unique combination of D#, G, A#, and F across the open strings suggests a rich harmonic palette, leaning towards minor or bluesy tonalities. The repeated A# (strings 4 & 2) and D# (strings 6 & 1) notes across different octaves provide excellent opportunities for sympathetic resonance and drone effects. While the open strings don't immediately spell out a common major or minor triad, the arrangement lends itself to intriguing, complex voicings and a broad dynamic range. The prevalence of perfect fourth intervals in the upper strings allows for easy construction of power chords and movable shapes.
Technical Analysis
The "Ramen Tuning" consists of the notes D#3 G2 A#3 F3 A#4 D#5 from the 6th (lowest) to the 1st (highest) string. The overall range spans over two octaves, from G2 to D#5, providing a wide canvas for musical expression. Key intervals between adjacent strings (from 6th to 1st) include:
- String 6 (D#3) to String 5 (G2): Descending Major 3rd (or Ascending Minor 6th)
- String 5 (G2) to String 4 (A#3): Compound Minor 3rd (Minor 3rd + Octave)
- String 4 (A#3) to String 3 (F3): Descending Perfect 4th
- String 3 (F3) to String 2 (A#4): Compound Perfect 4th (Perfect 4th + Octave)
- String 2 (A#4) to String 1 (D#5): Perfect 4th
The presence of multiple perfect fourths (A#3-F3, F3-A#4, A#4-D#5) makes it particularly easy to construct power chords or minor voicings by simply barring across these strings. For instance, an open barre across the top four strings (1-4) yields D#5, A#4, F3, A#3, creating a powerful, resonant cluster. The low G2 on the 5th string opens up possibilities for deep bass lines and unique harmonic inversions, moving away from conventional chord shapes.
How to Tune to Ramen Tuning
To achieve the "Ramen Tuning" from standard EADGBe (E6 A5 D4 G3 B2 E1), follow these specific string adjustments:
- String 6 (Low E): Tune down 1 semitone to D#3.
- String 5 (A): Tune down 2 semitones to G2.
- String 4 (D): Tune down 4 semitones to A#3. Note of Caution: Tuning down 4 semitones (a major third) is a significant adjustment. For optimal performance, intonation stability, and to prevent string floppiness, consider using a heavier gauge string for your 4th string.
- String 3 (G): Tune down 2 semitones to F3.
- String 2 (B): Tune down 1 semitone to A#4.
- String 1 (High E): Tune down 1 semitone to D#5.
String 6: Tuned to D#3. This is the lowest string, providing a deep, resonant bass note.
String 5: Tuned to G2. An unusually low note for this string, offering a very deep, powerful foundation.
String 4: Tuned to A#3. This note sits an octave above the G2 of the 5th string, contributing to a full low-mid range.
String 3: Tuned to F3. This note creates a perfect fourth interval with the A#3 of the 4th string when descending, and acts as a central melodic voice.
String 2: Tuned to A#4. An octave above the A#3 of the 4th string, this note allows for open harmonies and rich drone effects.
String 1: Tuned to D#5. This is the highest string, providing a bright, articulate top end, an octave above the D#3 of the 6th string.
