Hmmm, i think you can tune DGBE like a reg guitar and just change the high E to a D and have an open G as well - correct? It does seem that a small instrument like a CBG gives a nice mellow tone from using the lower strings - I have noticed that I like the DADF# - perhaps because I'm used to playing the mandolin...
Thanks for chord suggestions! I have managed a C chord by using
- 1st finger on second fret lower D string,
- 2nd finger on 2nd fret for the other D string, and
- 3rd finger on 3rd fret for A string and
- muting the F# string.
Is this a decent fake for a C chord?
For an Em chord, I found this:
- 1st finger on 1st fret on the F# string
- 2nd finger on 2nd fret on lower D string
- 3rd finger on 2nd fret on A string
- 4th finger on 2nd fret on other D string
Please let me know if these work. Now I am search of an Am!

Travis Woodall has a good intro vid for ADF# tuning.
Hello. I'm new to the site. I've been wanting to do it for years. Your C chord is built on the 3rd string third fret (c note root) 2 string 2nd fret (E note) 1st string first fret (G note). Looks like an F chord on standard guitar. With the above fingering, your minor is like an F minor chord move E back 1 fret.Your minors have a a little tough fingering off the 4th string root but easier on the 3rd string root. I use 3 tunings on my 4 CBG. I use the bottom 4 strings of a guitar, not the top four. Tunings, low to high, DADA (my favorite), DADF#, EAEA. I hope I answered the question. Cheers!
DAdf# is a great tuning. There are many songs you can learn from youtube tutorials in that tuning. The DAdf# are a part of the open six string tuning DADf#ad, also called vestapol tuning. Here are a couple of youtube links:
Jesus is on the mainline:
Nobody´s fault but mine:
I´ve added a chord chart. I hope this is what you´re looking for and I hope they are correct.
Oh my!..
I just discovered that this a very old thread and i guess Barry´s got it all sorted out by now!
Sorry for the late entry... :)
