I have been looking into trying a tuning of FCGDAE. I have done a little math to figure out the approximate guages to keep the tension about the same a light set. I like idea of having the range of an eight string on only six, and the symmetry of the patterns and chords. Thoughts? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If you want to try it, why not set it up and see how you like it? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I have never tried it but I tried many different tuning when I was working on my Sonic Youth style lesson, since they use lots of alternative tuning. Change your guitar's tuning and explore it by yourself! and it would be great if you share your experience here at the forum. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I had been waiting till I got my 7 string back together (upgrades), so I could string my warlock up in fifths and leave it that way to give it a fair chance with out having to switch back and forth for lessons. I will try it soon. Until this the most alternate tuning I have tried is drop d You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Cellos, and violas also tune in fifths and I think mandolins too. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I thought I would share what I'm doing with it so far if anybody is interested. My string gauges are 10,15,24w,36,54,82. Here is an A minor scale chart. here is what it sounds like http://soundcloud.com/vonhotch/5am/s-Wpkx8 And here is a quick riff. I didn't spend a lot of time with it so I appologize for quality. It's pretty doomy and ambient but sort of shows the range. http://soundcloud.com/vonhotch/5r1/s-TXpaE It seems like a fairly easy tuning to get used to and am not having any trouble switching back and forth while learing it.
