PHJim Tenor guitar question (22) RE: Tenor guitar question 16 Oct 19


I see Chicago tuning mentioned above. These names are used locally for tenor guitar and banjo tuning. Are they more widespread?

Chicago - DGBE
Standard - CGDA
Irish - GDAE

I have also seen DAEB, standard tuning up a tone. Those who use it for Irish fiddle tunes point out that the low G string is rarely used in fiddle tunes and the high B string comes in handy for keeping high pitched tunes in first position.
