This article is about a tuning for six-string guitar. For the steel guitar tuning, see E9 tuning.
Nashville or high strung tuning refers to the practice of replacing the wound E, A, D and G strings on a six-string guitar with lighter gauge strings to allow tuning an octave higher than standard.[1] This is usually achieved by using one string from each of the six courses of a twelve string set, using the higher string for those courses tuned in octaves.
