Nashville tuning makes a 6-string guitar sound a bit like a 12-string guitar. In Nashville tuning, strings 1 & 2 (E and B) are left standard but strings 4 through 6 are each tuned a complete octave higher than usual. You can see how this adds stress to these strings, so the only real way to accomplish it is to actually replace strings 4 through 6 with lighter guage strings. Read more here

1. Nashville Tuning: this seems to be stadard tuning except the 4 lowest strings are swapped non-wound, up octave strings??

2. Travis-style Fingerpicking: no clue??

Anyone care to expound a little (I know that there has to be someone who can expound on this board somewhere :) )]]> Guitar Players Discussion cmoewes https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/nashville-tuning-and-dust-in-the-wind/#post-109222 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/nashville-tuning-and-dust-in-the-wind/#post-109149 Thu, 30 Jun 2005 18:59:08 +0000

I have to add this too, the strings have a little bit more tension and they're a little bit harder to play. Cheers and good luck!!!!]]> Guitar Players Discussion art&lutherie https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/nashville-tuning-and-dust-in-the-wind/#post-108771
