 Open A-tuning

 

How
Tune up the 2:nd string a whole step to C#, compare with the 4:th fret on the 5:th string.
Tune up the 3:rd string a whole step to A, compare with the 5:th A.
Tune up the 4:th string a whole step to E, compare with the 1:st and 6:th strings E.
The Open A-tuning is the same as G-tuning only that it is tuned a whole step higher. On an electric guitar with very thin strings and low action it makes it easier to play with a slide or bottleneck if you tune up. I will not recommend this on an acoustic unless you have ultra thin strings on it. The risk is that the neck and top canīt take the much higher string tension. Check also and playing in open G and A.
