People all seem to assume Nashville tuning is for electric and steel strung guitars, but I decided to try retuning a spare nylon strung guitar to Nashville tuning.

I used standard strings rearranged, so the low E is the fourth string tuned up to E from D, the fifth string is the old third string tuned up to A from G, and the new third string is a first string, tuning up from E to G.   Great fun to play, with a very bright sound.

I gather a lot of African guitarists use high strung guitars, which is like Nashville tuning, but with the third string unaltered.

One of the good things about using funny tunings is that it helps to make it seem more justified to hang on to the old guitars that tend to accumulate over the years...
