I love Nashville tuning. I have two of my guitars tuned to Nashville. Great video!!

[@SpringfieldGuy]

I Nashville tuned my one-of-a-kind 6 string banjo (with a Tele neck) and it sounds like a million bucks. I really enjoy the sound it produces. It's my favorite instrument to play!

[@markharwood7573]

I tuned my mass-produced, low-quality Samick 6-string 'jo to Nashville just last week and it also sounds terrific. Wish I'd thought of it a long time ago.

[@GuitarGears4544]

The Rolling Stones-- Wild Horses. Nashville tuning all over it!

[@joelzdepski9884]

Mick Jagger plays a Nashville tuned guitar on Wild Horses.

Thanks for the Nashville tuning video. Now I have a way to tell my wife why I need another guitar

[@lebe220]

Nice and interesting. Thank you.

[@yudipitre5720]

I have the Martin XL it's awesome. What your doing is great.

[@swaggercat]

I've not heard of this tuning. How awesome gentlemen.

[@ConwayBob]

Great explanation and demonstration, Sean and Steve!

[@robnaughton405]

great use of nashville tuning on Hey You by pink floyd

[@derick-smith]

I have a friend that has a Taylor Big Baby in his studio with Nashville strings. I always find myself picking it up just because of how unique it sounds. The real treat for me is that I immediately play differently. It requires a softer attack and I'll end up playing things I forgot I knew. As another mentioned though, the sound will wear out its welcome pretty quickly. It is like a shot... one or two is awesome, 12 of them is a bad night!

[@landonbailey]

they also have an NHL team! 😱

[@99waggins]

I do it live quite often. Having two people playing slightly separate parts/voicings is so much more versatile than just making someone use a 12-string. Also, it's much easier to physically play for both players.

[@ujijin3099]

This is why I kept my '79 (Japan) Alvarez 12-string...🤠

[@ryanseanmusicandlove]

Traveling Wilbur's used it. With that many guitarist,I'm sure utilizing the upper range helped.

[@officialWWM]

Cause I’m freeeeee…..freee fallllinnnn….

[@tomryan6389]

Hah! A reason to buy another guitar! I bought some D'addario Nashville tuned strings, but I couldn't figure out which guitar to put them on. So in a discussion someone said I should buy a new one for them. So...I did. An EL-00. Not quite parlor, but close enough. There's always an excuse to buy new gear, amiright?

[@scottkidwellmusic9175]

I keep thinking I'm going to tune my Breedlove parlor guitar to Nashville tuning... just having too much fun with it in open D currently

[@gtr1952]

And D'Addario makes "Nashville Tuning" sets, you don't have to use singles. I don't have the number at hand, but I'm sure if you search for it you'll find them. Sweetwater also has them. I saw David Gilmour using them in the studio about 20 years ago. So I had to 'play around' also. LOL 8) --gary

[@madgeniusmusic]

I've been playing for 24 years and I've still never tried Nashville tuning, I really must get around to it. I've got an old beater acoustic that I'm going to try it on.

[@gtr1952]

I've been playing for 55 years, I saw Dave Gilmour doubling with a Nashville 'strung' guitar in the studio 20 years ago. Of course I had to play with that too LOL. It gets some interesting tones. D'Addario makes a set now, before that we had to use singles. Have fun! --gary

[@madgeniusmusic]

@@gtr1952 thanks. I’ve got a set on order, they arrive tomorrow.

[@regmunday8354]

Richer sound, harmonics, more melodically inspiring. Adding capo 3rd or 4th fret makes it sound more celtic folk music than Country.

[@Rockinbiker1946]

To do this would you use lighter gauge strings on the E-A-D-G?

[@officialWWM]

Yes. You can buy high strung guitar sets or you can use the high octave strings from a 12 string set.

[@newsense2435]

just be careful of the g string cause it will snap and break quickly... other than that i keep an acoustic guitar with a lifting bridge dedicated to nashville tuning... ;9) jam on...

[@OldCowboySongs525]

Nice- a new excuse to buy another Guitar!

[@tman6495]

Did u have to adjust/replace the nut when going Nashville?

[@vertyisprobablydead]

Why wouldn't you want to do it on your main guitar? Can it break it?

[@seandaniel23]

You totally could. The idea is to have it on a 2nd guitar to supplement the main, but that’s assuming you don’t already have several guitars

[@newsense2435]

you can, no doubt, but it gets a little tiresome for the ear when used all the time... at least for me... i have a dedicated guitar for it.. one with a lifting bridge problem... it works well ;9)

[@captainautoflower4136]

Sounds like you recorded this on a phone underwater.

[@lebe220]

I tried it 40 years ago. Then I bought a 12-string

[@officialWWM]

Nashville tuning is so much more flexible than a 12 string!

[@lebe220]

@@officialWWM Not when you play it alone.
