Hi! Here's another video from my album "Simple Music for difficult People Vol.3" You can find more here: fabiomittino@gmail.com Hope you'll like it.

Do we have any 5ths tuning players here? Any NST players? I'm planning on experimenting with a baritone in low F 5ths tuning. That's f, c, g, d, a, e, b. If anyone has any videos or songs worked out of 5ths tuned guitar insanity please share!!!!!!

Hey all, ive been contemplating tuning my 7 to D#2, A#2, F3, A#3, D#4, G4, C5, as my 6's are currently tuned to that minus the low D# (drop A#/Bb). I was wondering if anyone here has used this tuning, or anything similar? eg. Bottom 3 strings in 5ths. Also any suggestions for the most...

Back in the 1980s, I experimented with full fifths tuning, but as the highest a 25.5” string could go was G#4, I gave it up. I wanted something a bit normal for my open strings, and my playing wasn’t up to playing completely closed. I decided if I couldn’t get up to a B4, I’d just keep playing...

I tuned my guitar to NST (C-G-D-A-E-G) a while back to see what it was all about, it seemed weird and I ended up tuning back to standard pretty quick. About a month ago I decided to give it another whirl and fell in love with NST, tuning in 5ths extends the range of the instrument so much and...

I don't really understand too much about NST tbh so this may be pretty dumb, but what would NST be on a 7 string? An 8?

Okay, I saw that thing on the TK guitar page about 5ths tuning. I've tried it on the bass side of a stick, but 34" scale didnt work too hot for me for 5ths. BUt on a 27" or a 25.5" scale, How the hell could get something like that to work? I was thinking staggered 5ths... But what would...

OK...I've been meaning to post an update on this for a while. Just for the sake of comparison between my original fifths-based tuning (CGDAEF#), I tuned the top string up to G to try Robert Fripp's New Standard tuning. Both had similar potential for chordal playing, but NST was slightly...

OK...I took the plunge, and tuned my acoustic CGDAEF#, using gauges 52, 42, 30, 18p, 11, and 10 (A440 rather than a half-step down like most of my guitars). Holy fucking shit... This sounds amazing! The whole guitar sounds really huge and resonant compared to standard tuning! I've just...

I was pondering the idea of getting as much range as possible out of an instrument. I found that by tunning a six in perfect fifths you can get as much range as an eight in fourths. Six in fifths (as it would appear in a tab) F (one semitone above High E on a standard tuned six) A# D# G# C#...

I was wikipedia surfing (I started out with two different searches, one on Pain of Salvation and another on Herbie Hancock) and eventually I searched modes, then cadence, then after several more search terms i came across Robert Fripp's "New Standard Tuning". I've heard about it before but this...
