GDAE Guitar Tuner
GDAE: Violin Standard
The tuning G-D-A-E is used for most violin music. Other tunings are occasionally employed; the G string, for example, can be tuned up to A. The use of nonstandard tunings in classical music is known as scordatura; in some folk styles, it is called cross-tuning. One famous example of scordatura in classical music is Saint-Saëns’ Danse Macabre, where the solo violin’s E string is tuned down to E flat to impart an eerie dissonance to the composition. Another example is in the third movement of Contrasts, by Béla Bartók, where the E string is tuned down to E flat and the G tuned to a G sharp, or the set of pieces called the Mystery Sonatas by Biber.

*Chordmaps are an amalgamation of chords and scales. Each chord map can yield sometimes 5 chord shapes in its given key. Chords are made up of 2+ notes in the respective scale. EADGBE has evolved to provide a good compromise between simple fingering for many chords and the ability to play common scales with minimal left hand movement giving highly responsive chords and well renowned chord shapes. Alternate tunings have wider fret spans making normal chords difficult to reach. That’s not to say chords map don’t have good chords. With a little effort some original and strikingly beautiful chords can be found in Chord Maps.

Tuning up warning! Your bottom E string needs to be tuned up 3 semi-tones.Your A string needs to be tuned up 5 semi-tones. Your D string needs to be tuned up 7 semi-tones. Your G string needs to be tuned up 7 semi-tones. Your B string needs to be tuned up 7 semi-tones. Your top E string needs to be tuned up 7 semi-tones. Lowering the gauge of your strings will prevent strings snapping. Tuning up and above 2 semi-tones can snap higher strings. Lower strings can distort your guitar body or fretboard. For extreme cases, custom strings are needed. You can get custom strings made here www.octave4plus.com/ |
