An open C tuning. Open C tuning is an open tuning for guitar. The open-string notes form a C major chord, which is the triad (C,E,G) having the root note C, the major third (C,E), and the perfect fifth (C,G). When the guitar is strummed without fretting any strings, a C-major chord is sounded.
The English guitar used a repetitive open-C tuning that approximated a major-thirds tuning. [2] C-C-G-C-E-G [3] This open-C tuning gives the initial harmonic series when a C-string is struck. [4] The C-C-G-C-E-G tuning uses the harmonic sequence (overtones) of the note C.
C tuning. C tuning is a type of guitar tuning. The strings of the guitar are tuned two whole steps lower than standard tuning. The resulting notes can be described most commonly as C-F-A♯-D♯-G-C or C-F-B♭-E♭-G-C. This is not to be confused with C ♯ tuning, which is one and one half steps lower than standard tuning.
The English guitar used a repetitive open C tuning (with distinct open notes C–E–G–C–E–G) that approximated a major-thirds tuning. [26] This tuning is evident in William Ackerman's song "Townsend Shuffle", as well as by John Fahey for his tribute to Mississippi John Hurt. [31] [32]
The song is credited to guitarist Mick Ralphs, who tuned his guitar in the open-C tuning C-C-G-C-E-C. Ralphs stated that "It never really sounds right in standard tuning. It needs the open C to have that ring." [5] It borrows from the riff Ralphs used for his 1972 Mott the Hoople song, "One of the Boys". [6] [7] [8]
[8] The song is very similar in its sentiments to a much earlier song called "Jean and Caledonia". [9] "Caledonia" was first recorded by MacLean and published in his 1979 joint album credited to Alan Roberts and Doug MacLean that also carried the title Caledonia. [10] MacLean plays the song in the key of E using Open C tuning with a capo on the ...
Page uses an open-C6 chord (C-A-C-G-C-E) guitar tuning for the song, which he also used for "Bron-Yr-Aur" and "Poor Tom" (recorded during the same sessions). [5] He also used an Altair Tube Limiter to enhance the acoustic quality of his Harmony guitar, a device recommended to him by acoustic guitarist Dick Rosmini. [6]
