  • One string washboard bass strung with a black tape wound low B tuned up to G. it sounds better when you tighten up the bass string for slide

  • I tuned my 4  into a seldom used tuning this morning (DGa#a#) and watched the godfather documentary the double a#a# having a kinda Italian mando sound. its a minor tuning but the double strings give it an interesting twist. 

  • yesterday at the gig i busted a high E string glad i had a spare 4 string to play i tune the high E down to A# and up to E depending on the song

  • This is a pretty basic intro into Sawmill tuning on a mandolin.  There should be some carryover to a guitar tuned the same notes an octave lower.  Fun tuning and pretty easy to learn - especially if you play a IVI 3 string.

  • love DAd tuning . it has a spooky qualty to it. i mostly play 4 strings i keep one in DAda all the time

  • Simple D-A-d tuning
