Subject: RE: High Strung Guitars (Nashville Tuned)
I play a Tacoma tuned up a fourth from standard guitar tuning. My wife plays a standard tuning on her Martin. The two instruments blend well.
The Nashville tuning does create a "spread" for acoustic guitars that acts as a nice "bed" for vocals. In this, it is reminiscent of a manjoline or a steel strung uke or the Cavacinho from Brazil. It also has a Tipple sound.
