This is a unique and highly customized tuning for a Guitar, creatively named "G SHARP MINOR FIT". According to its creator, it was specifically designed to match a particular piano piece, suggesting a tuning intended for very specific harmonic or melodic requirements rather than general playability.

Technical Analysis: F#3 B2 E3 G#4 C#5 F#5

This tuning presents a fascinating and unconventional arrangement of pitches. When considering the strings from thickest (6) to thinnest (1), the open notes are:

• String 6: F#3
• String 5: B2
• String 4: E3
• String 3: G#4
• String 2: C#5
• String 1: F#5

Crucially, this is a re-entrant tuning, meaning the string pitches do not strictly ascend from low to high string number. The lowest actual pitch is B2 (on String 5), making it lower than String 6 (F#3) and String 4 (E3). This creates a very distinctive sound, often associated with folk instruments or specific classical guitar styles, offering a unique harmonic landscape.

Open Harmony & Intervals:

Let's examine the open harmony and potential voicings. The open notes (F#3 B2 E3 G#4 C#5 F#5) contain the pitches G#, B, C#, E, F#. With G# as the assumed root (matching the tuning's name), these notes can be analyzed as:

• G# (root) - from String 3
• B (minor 3rd) - from String 5
• C# (perfect 4th) - from String 2
• E (minor 6th) - from String 4
• F# (minor 7th) - from String 6 and String 1

This combination strongly outlines a G# minor 7 chord (G#-B-D#-F#) with a suspended 4th (C#) and a minor 6th (E) in place of the 5th (D#). This creates a rich, modal harmony, leaning towards a G# Dorian sound. When strummed open, this tuning offers a complex, melancholic, yet open and resonant chord that invites creative melodic and harmonic exploration. The stack of Perfect 4ths on the highest three strings (G#4-C#5-F#5) is a bright, clear voicing that can be found in modern jazz and fusion, offering an excellent foundation for lead lines and chord melodies.

Tuning Considerations:

The tuning instructions involve raising the pitch of all strings from their standard EADGBe counterparts. While the individual string movements specified in the 'How to Tune' section are relatively small (1-2 semitones up), it is crucial to note that several of the target notes (F3#, G4#, C5#, F5#) are significantly higher in *actual pitch* than what a 1-2 semitone increase from standard EADGBe would typically achieve. For instance, tuning a standard low E string (E2) up to F3# would involve a jump of 14 semitones (more than an octave). Similarly, a standard G string (G3) to G4# is an 13-semitone jump. If your guitar is currently strung with standard gauges, attempting to reach these higher octaves will place extreme tension on your strings and guitar neck. It is highly recommended to consider using lighter gauge strings for strings 6, 3, 2, and 1 to prevent breakage and avoid excessive neck tension. Playing in this tuning will likely require a careful setup of your guitar to ensure playability and intonation.

How to Tune to G SHARP MINOR FIT:

To achieve the "G SHARP MINOR FIT" tuning, start from standard EADGBe tuning and adjust each string as follows:

• String 6 (Low E): Tune to F3#. This involves tuning up 2 semitones from its original pitch.
• String 5 (A): Tune to B2. This involves tuning up 2 semitones from its original pitch.
• String 4 (D): Tune to E3. This involves tuning up 2 semitones from its original pitch.
• String 3 (G): Tune to G4#. This involves tuning up 1 semitones from its original pitch.
• String 2 (B): Tune to C5#. This involves tuning up 2 semitones from its original pitch.
• String 1 (High E): Tune to F5#. This involves tuning up 2 semitones from its original pitch.

Important Note on String Gauge: While the individual semitone adjustments listed (e.g., "up 2 semitones") are provided as the tuning guide, several target notes (F3#, G4#, C5#, F5#) are significantly higher in pitch than their standard tuning counterparts. If your guitar is currently strung with standard gauges suitable for EADGBe, tuning to these higher octaves will likely put extreme tension on your strings and guitar neck, potentially leading to string breakage or damage. Consider using lighter gauge strings, especially for strings 6, 3, 2, and 1, if you intend to maintain this tuning. Exercise caution and tune slowly.
