BEST vid on this i have ever seen ,,so much information and so easy to understand;perfect

do you need to change the nut/bridge to suit the lighter strings? or can you just whack a 12 gauge light set on a standard guitar, and play? How does a high strung react to a capo? Ever high strung a dobro? What's THAT like?

I play a Squire Mini electric in Nashville tuning. Now I will put a set on an acoustic. Great video- thanks!

Nice one. Is anyone else out there trying a combination of Nashville & open G on a 6-string banjo? I surely can't be the only one to think of that.

Good stuff. Stop bashing your guitars against each other. Ouch.

"Let me, the expert, explain art of recording..." all while on a crappy mic with no compression, no normalization, too much room reverb, no eq, and... I barely passed Public Speaking 101. FFS, do it right or don't do it at all.

Great video…tons of useful information! Will be recording with a Nashville HS guitar tomorrow for the first time…looking forward to employing many of your suggestions…thank you!

Hey my brother I can't thank you enough for showing me this in a way that I can understand. I've researched this the last few days and had to re-watch the other videos to wonder what I was missing and you completely nailed it!! Thank you so much! I will follow you 👍 Joe Sykes from

In addition to the ability to pan and process two guitars separately, the fact that they were played independently introduces time differences. Even if you played the exact same thing on both guitars there would be a varying doubling effect by virtue of the slight differences in the 2 performances. Excellent and informative video. I really enjoyed this. Thank you !

Hey, fellow Georgian. Never once have heard of this and super happy to come across it as I’m currently recording an alt-country/Americana album. ‘Preciate! Also, I think The Rolling Stones wrote “Wild Horses” for Gram Parsons.

An excellent video which, (for me) contained detailed new information and ideas. Thanks!

Has anyone Nashville tuned a Taylor GS-mini?

What an extraordinary "thrilling" and informative review. I had never heard of Nashville Tuning until My Brother-in Law mentioned it just this week. We play together when We can. This will be great fun for us. Happy Strings to You :-)

I just picked up a Yamaha F310 for this very purpose. Strings will be here tomorrow. I was going to order the Nashville tuning pack but it was going to take several weeks to get here. So I bought a pack of 12 string strings and will use the other half for another guitar. I appreciated the history and the information about recording. I think I'm going to be one of those guys who records everything on an SM57 lol. That was a nice little nugget from this that I didn't expect. I have never recorded at home so it'll be a fun journey. Definitely subscribing!

Great video

I don't understand I ordered a nashvile tuning set and when I got them the G 3d is also Wounded like the E 6th and it doesn't sound like this. The G sounds 1 octave lower😒 After 3 months I am not really to convinced with the sound Especially that when I press on a tunned A string on the 2nd fret to play a B I get a sharp sound, I just throws me off each time. I even tried to adjust the Rode, it doesn't fix the problem I ended up swaping the A string with the wounded G string, now it is so tight I feel like it will break any moment, the G string is 1 octave lower to your tuning I realize. By the way I also have the D'Addario high strun/nashville tunning .010-0.27. Phosphor bronze EJ38H Do you think the Set is not supposed to come with 2 wounded strings ? I have been playing guitar for 45 years and I am just confused can you please help me figure this out ?

Man! - what a well made contribution, thanks very much! 🙏

How is it tuned?

Awesome video! My harmonic stacks aren't really as good as this (They aren't bad, but not at this level yet) and I think the main issue, since most of the post composing and recording techniques look pretty familiar to me, is my composition and how I am delivering the notes. That being said, that's why the tip you had about composing the melody beforehand on MIDI and then just singing little parts and putting it all together is so helpful! I'll be sure to try it next time! Yeah, the one I most recently finished before seeing this video I was really just winging the composition for everything except the main, base layer, lol. No wonder I'm not at this level yet.

Sorry to diss you like this man but beach boys is not quite the comparison I would try to make here. Its not AWFUL but if you really wanna get beach boys you should process it way less. Also your "Hu"s attack is making me cringe so hard. Try not to lean into the breath so hard.

Wish there was more info on which songs they recorded in Nashville that used this tuning...

The Nashville tuned guitars perplexed me my whole life on the classics you’ve listed, I had no clue, thank you.

Bravo- this is so well prepared and so comprehensive - an excellent presentation on the topic!

Great video!

Great work! Many thanks!

Best video about high tuning on KZbin.

This is fantastic. Thanks for breaking it all down. Song sounds amazing!

Thank you very much for sharing this awesome video! Sorry for deviating a bit on the subject, but do you know what would be the best approach to try to fake the nashville tuning sound for chords using standard strings? I would like to use it in just a few particular parts with both my acoustic and electric guitars, but I don’t think it’s worth the hassle to have to retune each instrument. Cheers

This is really cool! Im actually surprised at how much better the SiX comp is, considering you’re limited with the attack and ratio… It just adds even more sparkle and warmth to an already beautiful track. I have the Waves SSL G Bus Comp, E Channel Strip, Slate Digital equivalents… They are good but this really is another level. Thanks for sharing

Awesome comparisons! Thanks a lot! 🙂 It really does sound great in a mix.

This is an excellent presentation!

Your delivery is on point, along with your voice 👌

Very useful video Bravo

exactly what I was looking for. thanks a bunch, you got a new subscriber :) take care

Would a Nashville tuned acoustic guitar blend well with a standard tuned electric guitar in a recording???

As someone new to this particular type of tuning. This is a great informative video on Nashville tuning, the samples made learning about and understanding Nashville tuning, to a beginner like me very clear and easy to understand. Thank you .

Excellent tips. As a former 12 string player this makes so much sense! A lot easier to bend notes too! Thanks. Be well.

I thought the Nashville strung guitar sounded great with the SM57

The Everly Brothers didn't start recording in Nashville with Chet Atkins until 1957, not 1953

Love the Nashville tuning sound and all the ways one can use it. Thanks for such a full explanation!

Thank you for such an informative posting! Just yesterday I installed a set, and today I found out a lot of good stuff!

great video Sir.

Nice video. Bought me some N-ville strings.

Excellent tutorial.

Thank you for the info. I like the Greg Lake acoustic ballads and I can see Nashville tuning being helpful with them. The KZbin Shutup & Play lesson C’est La Vie led me to search for Nashville tuning info and Google led me to this video.

Great, well done video. Thank you.

I'm in! Do you recommend "light" or "medium" acoustic strings? Would the sound be noticably different?

Why is the sound so cold

Great info…thanks
