Variants and users
  • CGCGCE - used by Justin Hayward (Moody Blues) acoustic guitar on "Question" ("Question of Balance" LP). Also used extensively by John Butler.
  • Devin Townsend (Strapping Young Lad) tunes his guitars to CGCGCE in most of his songs or, when he uses a 7 string guitar, GCGCGCE. From Ki onwards, he started to tune his six string guitars down a half step (BF#BF#BD#) or a whole step (BbFBbFBbD). Townsend has said many times that he got the idea to use this tuning for his own material after learning the song "Friends" by Led Zeppelin

High C for Mick Ralphs

[edit]

Did Mick Ralphs have a multi-scale guitar? (Or was the low C never played?) Kiefer.Wolfowitz 19:40, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
