No stress for your guitar....

Both Powertab and Mysongbook have the same tuning - which is where it came from.]]> Slide and Alternate tunings greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/total-slide-virgin-seeks/#post-113092 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/total-slide-virgin-seeks/#post-112996 Fri, 22 Jul 2005 17:41:27 +0000
Don't know where you got that tuning from, but this is one you can do fairly easily in standard tuning....although I learned it in open G....

I've got a tab of Santo & Johnny's Sleepwalk, which was tabbed from the original - played on a lap steel. The tuning is G#, C, D#, G#, C, D#.

Is it safe to tune a normal guitar to this? The top and bottom strings are both raised by 4 semitones and the 5th by 3.
I'm worried that it'll rip the bridge off an acoustic.]]> Slide and Alternate tunings greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/total-slide-virgin-seeks/#post-10446
