You can see the problem there—E and F are only a half step apart, imposing a naturally irritating interval of a minor second. Fortunately, since the ADGBE tuning for the top five strings had already been adopted in the 16th century—before a lower sixth string tuned to E was added—such a problematic tuning arrangement was avoided. That lower E continued the arrangement of perfect fourths used for all string pairs except the major-third interval adopted for the second and third strings, resulting in the standard guitar tuning that remains today.
Skip to main content. Tech Talk. Standard tuning is only one of many options. For beginners, it is probably best to stick with standard tuning unless your curiosity is really pushing you to explore other tunings. Other tunings can make it easier to bend strings, play in new keys, or incorporate guitar parts taking extensive advantage of repeated open strings. Hub Guitar. How to Identify the Root Note.

I'm back to the basics this summer - and learning 3 different fingerings for the common 1 5 7 3 voicing on continuous strings. It seems to me the advantages of all 4ths would be really beneficial.
Then again - not having ever played in a guitar tuned consistently in 4ths, I'm sure I would discover some advantages to that 3rd between G and B : Any thoughts on this? There is a long and obscure history here.
I doubt if anybody knows the whole story. My opinion is that Arabic influence, via Spain, has a lot to do with it. One might ask the converse: Why is the guitar not tuned to a G major chord? Just to confuse things, multistring guitar basses are tuned in all fourths. Well you can tune your guitar any way you like, IF you can deliver Strong Performance with it. Originally Posted By: Mac.
