This tuning, aptly named "Standard with C# Minor," presents an intriguing approach to guitar voicings, as indicated by its description: "Trying out something for adjusted chord voicings." It combines the familiar foundation of standard tuning for the lower strings with a dramatically altered and elevated upper register.

Verbal Analysis: The open strings for this tuning are E2-A2-D3-G4#-C5#-E4. The three lowest strings (E2, A2, D3) maintain their standard pitches, providing a solid and recognizable bass foundation. However, the upper three strings are where this tuning truly distinguishes itself. The 3rd string is tuned to G4#, the 2nd string to C5#, and the 1st string returns to E4. This specific configuration of the higher strings (G4#-C5#-E4) immediately forms a C# minor triad in its second inversion (G# C# E). This means that simply strumming the upper three strings will produce a bright, high-pitched C# minor chord, offering a readily available melodic and harmonic framework for this key. When strummed across all six open strings (E-A-D-G#-C#-E), the result is a complex, ringing texture that blends elements of E, A, D with a prominent C# minor flavor. This setup lends itself well to exploring ambient soundscapes, arpeggiated patterns, and creating unique chord voicings that might otherwise be challenging to achieve in standard tuning. It's particularly useful for music in C# minor or E major, where the G# (major third of E, or minor sixth of C#) and C# (root of C# minor, or major sixth of E) can be emphasized.

Technical Analysis: The open string notes are as follows:

• String 6 (Low E): E2
• String 5 (A): A2 (Perfect Fourth above E2)
• String 4 (D): D3 (Perfect Fourth above A2)
• String 3 (G#): G4# (An Octave and a Major Third above D3). This represents a significant interval leap.
• String 2 (C#): C5# (Perfect Fourth above G4#)
• String 1 (High E): E4 (Perfect Fourth above C5#, and two octaves above E2)

The intervals between strings are P4 (E-A), P4 (A-D), M10 (D-G#, an octave and a major third), P4 (G#-C#), and P4 (C#-E). This unique combination of wide and consistent intervals creates a distinct harmonic profile, particularly the expansive jump from the 4th to the 3rd string.

Open String Notes:

• String 6 (Low E): E2
• String 5 (A): A2
• String 4 (D): D3
• String 3 (G#): G4#
• String 2 (C#): C5#
• String 1 (High E): E4

How to Tune from Standard (E-A-D-G-B-E):

This section describes the string movements to achieve the desired tuning. Please be aware of a significant discrepancy for strings 3 and 2: the target notes (G4# and C5# respectively) are an octave higher than what the specified semitone movements (from standard tuning) would produce. If your goal is to reach G4# and C5#, these strings will require a much more significant tension increase (tuning up over an octave from standard) than indicated by the 'semitones up' value, and different string gauges would be highly recommended to prevent breakage. The instructions below strictly follow the provided 'fret_text' for semitone movements.

• String 6 (Low E): Keep as is; no change (0 semitones).
• String 5 (A): Keep as is; no change (0 semitones).
• String 4 (D): Keep as is; no change (0 semitones).
• String 3 (G): Tune up 1 semitone from standard G3 to G#3. (Note: The target note G4# is an octave higher than G#3. Achieving G4# from standard G3 involves tuning up 13 semitones, which is beyond the recommended range for a standard gauge string and carries a high risk of breakage. Lighter gauge strings would be necessary.)
• String 2 (B): Tune up 2 semitones from standard B3 to C#4. (Note: The target note C5# is an octave higher than C#4. Achieving C5# from standard B3 involves tuning up 14 semitones, which is beyond the recommended range for a standard gauge string and carries a high risk of breakage. Lighter gauge strings would be necessary.)
• String 1 (High E): Keep as is; no change (0 semitones).

As a general guideline, tuning a string up by more than 4 semitones from its standard pitch, or moving it by a full octave, typically requires a different string gauge to ensure safety, proper intonation, and to avoid excessive tension that could damage the instrument or break the string.
