FAGFAG Guitar Tuner
FAGFAG FAGFAG - Guitar tuning, chords & scales
The FAGFAG tuning is a truly distinctive and intriguing setup for the guitar, enthusiastically described by its creator as a tuning they "Love!" This open tuning, which spans a wide range of frequencies across the fretboard, offers a unique and expansive sonic landscape for players to explore.
Technically, the tuning notes from the lowest to highest string are F2-A2-G2-F3-A3-G4. This arrangement forms a repeating melodic motif of F-A-G, ascending through different octaves. A particularly striking technical characteristic of FAGFAG is the non-linear pitch progression between the 5th and 4th strings: the 5th string (A2) is tuned higher in pitch than the 4th string (G2). This inversion of pitch relationships between adjacent strings is a significant feature that will deeply influence playability, chord voicings, and the overall harmonic texture, creating an open sound with a complex and engaging character.
The open strings themselves present an F-A-G arpeggio across multiple octaves. While not forming a standard major, minor, or suspended triad directly, the presence of these core notes strongly suggests tonalities related to F major, A minor, and G major, allowing for rich melodic and harmonic exploration. The unique intervallic structure and the inverted string relationship will encourage players to discover unconventional voicings, leading to lush, droning textures and innovative melodic lines. This tuning is ideal for those seeking to break away from traditional guitar sounds and delve into new creative territories.
How to Tune to FAGFAG
To achieve the FAGFAG tuning from standard EADGBe, follow these precise string adjustments:
- 6th String (Low E): Tune up 1 semitone to F2. (E2 → F2)
- 5th String (A): Keep as is; no change (0 semitones) at A2. (A2 → A2)
- 4th String (D): Tune down 7 semitones to G2. (D3 → G2) Caution: Tuning down by 7 semitones is a significant drop in tension. For optimal playability, tone, and to prevent string floppiness or intonation issues, a different gauge string is strongly advised.
- 3rd String (G): Tune down 2 semitones to F3. (G3 → F3)
- 2nd String (B): Tune down 2 semitones to A3. (B3 → A3)
- 1st String (High E): Tune up 3 semitones to G4. (E4 → G4)
Here are the specific notes for each string in the FAGFAG tuning, from the lowest (6th) to the highest (1st) string:
6th String: F2
5th String: A2
4th String: G2
3rd String: F3
2nd String: A3
