Are Some Tunings Bad For My Guitar? (A Warning About Alternate Tunings)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Now that you have all the frequencies for many of the common guitar tunings, you may want to go try them all out to see which one sounds best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is completely fine, but you might want to have your cheap strings on first. The thinnest guitar strings are most susceptible to snapping when tuned too high. If you go too far above the standard tuning for each string, you run the risk of snapping your strings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s also possible to put too much stress on the delicate balance of your guitar’s neck relief (the bow in your guitar neck). Be warned, and be careful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That being said, most tunings for the high E4 string don’t go above F4 for the reason of not wanting to snap their strings. The lower strings have a bit more slack (and therefore flexibility). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Pitch Should My Guitar Tuner Be Set To?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n It turns out that what we decide to be the frequency for the note C is somewhat arbitrary. There is no (at least not that we’ve discovered) magical connection between a note and its frequency. Over the years, musicologists and musicians have settled on A4 (A in the 4th octave) as 440Hz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are of course other options–but to keep things simple and to be on track with most circumstances you’ll be in, 440Hz will work great for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nJust for fun, though, if you would like to see the frequencies for a guitar tuned to 432 Hz (a common standard used mostly in the past)… here you go!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNote<\/th> Frequency (Hz)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead> E2<\/td> 80.91<\/td><\/tr> A2<\/td> 108<\/td><\/tr> D3<\/td> 144.16<\/td><\/tr> G3<\/td> 192.43<\/td><\/tr> B3<\/td> 242.45<\/td><\/tr> E4<\/td> 323.63<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/audio>432Hz Standard Tuning Sample<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are several tuning configurations for the guitar, what are their different frequencies?
