   New standard tuning (NST) is an alternative tuning for the guitar that approximates all-fifths tuning.The guitar's strings are assigned the notes C2-G2-D3-A3-E4-G4 (from lowest to highest); the five lowest open strings are each tuned to an interval of a perfect fifth {(C,G),(G,D),(D,A),(A,E)}; the two highest strings are a minor third apart (E,G).

   String gauge refers to the thickness and diameter of a guitar string, which influences the overall sound and pitch of the guitar depending on the guitar string used. [17] Some alternative tunings are difficult or even impossible to achieve with conventional guitars due to the sets of guitar strings, which have gauges optimized for standard tuning.

4. All fifths tuning - Wikipedia

   It was developed to be used with a standard set of strings, for example a hybrid set of 0.9 strings, and without lowering too much the range of the electric guitar. It has a range that starts from two tones lower than the standard E tuning (C2 instead of E2) for the 6st string, but the 1st string is tuned to the same note (E4).

5. Regular tuning - Wikipedia

   The shifting of chords is especially simple for the regular tunings that repeat their open strings, in which case chords can be moved vertically: Chords can be moved three strings up (or down) in major-thirds tuning, [3] and chords can be moved two strings up (or down) in augmented-fourths tuning. Regular tunings thus appeal to new guitarists ...

7. Major thirds tuning - Wikipedia

   [8] [9] While M3 tuning can use standard sets of guitar strings, [8] specialized string gauges have been recommended. [6] [10] The middle tunings are a compromise, each losing a note or two off both the top and the bottom of the range. For example, for six-string guitars, the M3 tuning: F ♯ 2–A ♯ 2–D3–F ♯ 3–A ♯ 3–D4
