Most popular 3-string tuning?

Posted by Rick McKeon on July 16, 2014 at 2:15pm in Performances, How to Play, Lessons, Concerts

What's your favorite 3-string tuning? I hope to produce a bunch more lessons and want them to be useful for as many people as possible. The ones on my website now use EBE, but I'm thinking most people are using GDG.

Thanks for your input.

    Thanks everyone for the feedback. It is much appreciated. Looks like the most popular 3-string tuning is Open G at GDG. That's what I'll start using for lessons.

    GDg tuned up to sharp is the one I use as its suits my voice, but doesn't make it sound better but takes the hurt out of it... (-;

      Yep. On my 4- stringers tuned Bb-F-Bb-D, I'm halfway between A# and Bb for my voice.

    GDG and ADF# for me...that last one gets you movable chord forms similar to 6-strings, per Keni Lee Burgess
