Thanks for posting that, Larry.

I've read about Nashville tuning, but never actually heard a guitar tuned that way.

Now to just find that "spare" guitar he was talking about. :roll:


Too bad my wife doesn't play. If she did, I'd tune her guitar Nashville, and tell her was standard for a woman's guitar. :twisted:

Your Seagull would sound great in Nashville Tuning. [High Strung Tuning]
I used to have a Taylor Big Baby that I would tune to Nashville Tuning once in a while.
It's a fun change but you need to play along with someone else in standard tuning to get the
full effect.

Two ways to get the strings.
First, get a light gauge 12 string set and split the strings up.
One set for Nashville Tuning and the other for any guitar that you like to use regular light gauge strings on.
The other way and the way I do it is to buy loose strings and make up the set.
This way gives you more options for each string gauge.

Try Nashville Tuning sometime, you will have fun with it.
