To play the G, or 4 chord, just put your 2nd finger on the 2nd fret of the 5th string and strum all six strings. ![]() Similarly, Coltrane’s pentatonic and sheets of sound patterns are readily transposed anywhere on the fretboard without changing the fingerings. Once you’ve re-tuned string 2, match string 1. But you can also match string 2 to the note at 3:5 (string 3, fret 5). 4ths tuning is real easy All you have to do is put your guitar in standard tuning (EADGBE), then tune string 2 to a C and string 1 to an F. So, while tradeoffs include some oddities - for instance trying to cop a Wes Montgomery line or chord solo note-for-note may or may not fall under the fingers more readily in all fourths tuning - the symmetrical nature of the fourths guitar tuning greatly simplifies playing one of Wes’ signature octave runs. Don’t let the name of this tuning scare you. ![]() The same holds true for any scalar patterns – gone are the asymmetries resulting from the third between the G-B strings in standard tuning. Octaves, for instance, use the same fingering regardless of the string pairs being played. For example: Any chord voicing spanning 4 strings can be transposed by simply moving to any other set of strings without changing the fingering. As it turns out, many guitar cliches one takes for granted become significantly altered – making one realize that these phrases have become cliches due to how readily they fall under the fingers in conventional tuning - a convenience which is often not the case when tuning in fourths.īy the same token, the 4ths tuning lends itself to its own set of cliches spawned from certain types of more easily executed phrases and voicings.

Initially, this was intended as an experiment to explore that possibilities it opened up for more symmetrical scalar patterns and chord voicings than the conventional guitar tuning – and also to develop “outside-the-box” guitar techniques that his studies with trumpeter Bill Dixon encouraged.One of the immediate (and lasting) effects of this change is that standard bar chord voicings and open position chords are no longer workable options.

Influenced by the chord voicings employed by McCoy Tyner and the harmonic patterns used by John Coltrane, Justin Perdue began tuning his guitar in fourths (E-A-D-G-C-F, low to high) in 1990.
