Hi everybody
I've been playing in open c a lot lately. While surfing around today I came across this info on cgcgce. I found it at guys site by the name of Dan Evans.
"open C guitar tuning CGCGCE
Dan?s principal guitar tuning is Open C.
Rather than the even temperament of a chromatic tuner, Dan tunes his guitar using a natural temperament. The result is a powerful sound with sweet, natural intonation.
The combination of Open C tuning and natural temperament give Dan?s guitar a beautifully resonant sustaining sound."
Can anybody help me understand this? I've gat a basic understanding of even temperament. I also know that c-g is a perfect fifth. Past that I'm kinda lost. I've got the clear tune chromatic tuner app on my phone. It's got a ton of different temperament options, just not sure which one to use to achieve this.
Would this really make much of a difference in the sound of the guitar? I'm curious to try.
Thanks, Jason
