WHY LOWER YOUR GUITAR TUNING? Have you ever heard the 'Eagles' singing & playing a great sounding 'G major' chord in standard tuning? However, your voice suited the same song in 'Key of E' major. You also wished you could still play your guitar in that 'G major' chord position, right? Well, that's precisely what this tuning ("Kottke" style) will help you accomplish.  If you are comfortable playing chords in "standard" (EADGBE) tuning, you'll have no problem with this "Kottke tuning", since virtually all finger positions are exactly the same. Only the "Key" and "Pitch" of the song is affected.

What Happens?  
'G' Root Position becomes Key of 'E'
Playing in the 'G' chord position now becomes 'E' chord pitch
Playing in the 'C' chord position now becomes 'A' chord pitch
Playing in the 'D' chord position now becomes 'B' chord pitch

'C' Root Position becomes Key of 'A'
Playing in the 'C' chord position now becomes 'A' chord pitch
Playing in the 'F' chord position now becomes 'D' chord pitch
Playing in the 'G' chord position now becomes 'E' chord pitch

'D' Root Position becomes Key of 'B' ......... or ('C' Capo 1st Fret)
Playing in the 'D' chord position now becomes 'B' chord pitch
Playing in the 'G' chord position now becomes 'E' chord pitch
Playing in the 'A' chord position now becomes 'F#' chord pitch

'E' Root Position becomes Key of 'C#' ....... or ('D' Capo 1st Fret)
Playing in the 'E' chord position now becomes 'C#' chord pitch
Playing in the 'A' chord position now becomes 'F#' chord pitch
Playing in the 'B' chord position now becomes 'G#' chord pitch

'A' Root Position becomes Key of 'F#' ....... or ('G' Capo 1st Fret)
Playing in the 'A' chord position now becomes 'F#' chord pitch
Playing in the 'D' chord position now becomes 'B' chord pitch
Playing in the 'E' chord position now becomes 'C#' chord pitch

(To play in 'Standard E Pitch' simply use a Capo at the '3rd' Fret)
