Guitar tunings assign pitches to the open strings of guitars. Tunings can be described by the particular pitches that are denoted by notes in Western music. By convention, the notes are ordered from lowest to highest (thickest string to the thinnest).〔Denyer. Chapter ‘Playing the guitar’: “How the guitar is tuned”, pp. 68-69.〕 The phrase “guitar tuning” also refers to the adjusting of the string-pitches to their desired tuning, which is described in how-to manuals for guitarists.〔Denyer. Chapter ‘Playing the guitar’: “Tuning methods”, pp. 70-71.〕 Standard tuning defines the string pitches as E, A, D, G, B, and E, from lowest (low E) to highest (high E). Standard tuning is used by most guitarists, and frequently used tunings can be understood as variations on standard tuning. “Nonstandard” tunings are also called “alternative” or “alternate”. Some tunings are used for particular songs by professional musicians, and may be called after the song's title. There are hundreds of such tunings, which are often minor variants of established tunings. Communities of guitarists who share a musical tradition often use the same or similar tunings. The hundreds of alternative tunings have been classified into a smaller number of categories: “open”, both major and minor (“crossnote”), and “modal”; “dropped”; “instrumental” (based on other stringed instruments); and “regular”. Modal, dropped, and many other tunings are mentioned in the supplementary list of guitar tunings. ==Standard and alternatives== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guitar tunings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
