I Nashville tuned my one-of-a-kind 6 string banjo (with a Tele neck) and it sounds like a million bucks. I really enjoy the sound it produces. It's my favorite instrument to play!
I tuned my mass-produced, low-quality Samick 6-string 'jo to Nashville just last week and it also sounds terrific. Wish I'd thought of it a long time ago.
I have a friend that has a Taylor Big Baby in his studio with Nashville strings. I always find myself picking it up just because of how unique it sounds. The real treat for me is that I immediately play differently. It requires a softer attack and I'll end up playing things I forgot I knew. As another mentioned though, the sound will wear out its welcome pretty quickly. It is like a shot... one or two is awesome, 12 of them is a bad night!
I do it live quite often. Having two people playing slightly separate parts/voicings is so much more versatile than just making someone use a 12-string. Also, it's much easier to physically play for both players.
I've been playing for 24 years and I've still never tried Nashville tuning, I really must get around to it. I've got an old beater acoustic that I'm going to try it on.
I've been playing for 55 years, I saw Dave Gilmour doubling with a Nashville 'strung' guitar in the studio 20 years ago. Of course I had to play with that too LOL. It gets some interesting tones. D'Addario makes a set now, before that we had to use singles. Have fun! --gary
Hah! A reason to buy another guitar! I bought some D'addario Nashville tuned strings, but I couldn't figure out which guitar to put them on. So in a discussion someone said I should buy a new one for them. So...I did. An EL-00. Not quite parlor, but close enough. There's always an excuse to buy new gear, amiright?
And D'Addario makes "Nashville Tuning" sets, you don't have to use singles. I don't have the number at hand, but I'm sure if you search for it you'll find them. Sweetwater also has them. I saw David Gilmour using them in the studio about 20 years ago. So I had to 'play around' also. LOL 8) --gary
you can, no doubt, but it gets a little tiresome for the ear when used all the time... at least for me... i have a dedicated guitar for it.. one with a lifting bridge problem... it works well ;9)
just be careful of the g string cause it will snap and break quickly... other than that i keep an acoustic guitar with a lifting bridge dedicated to nashville tuning... ;9) jam on...

I love Nashville tuning. I have two of my guitars tuned to Nashville. Great video!!
The Rolling Stones-- Wild Horses. Nashville tuning all over it!
Thanks for the Nashville tuning video. Now I have a way to tell my wife why I need another guitar
Mick Jagger plays a Nashville tuned guitar on Wild Horses.
I have the Martin XL it's awesome. What your doing is great.
Nice and interesting. Thank you.
I've not heard of this tuning.
How awesome gentlemen.
Great explanation and demonstration, Sean and Steve!
This is why I kept my '79 (Japan) Alvarez 12-string...🤠

they also have an NHL team! 😱
great use of nashville tuning on Hey You by pink floyd
Traveling Wilbur's used it. With that many guitarist,I'm sure utilizing the upper range helped.

I keep thinking I'm going to tune my Breedlove parlor guitar to Nashville tuning... just having too much fun with it in open D currently

Richer sound, harmonics, more melodically inspiring. Adding capo 3rd or 4th fret makes it sound more celtic folk music than Country.
To do this would you use lighter gauge strings on the E-A-D-G?
Yes. You can buy high strung guitar sets or you can use the high octave strings from a 12 string set.
Nice- a new excuse to buy another Guitar!
Did u have to adjust/replace the nut when going Nashville?
Why wouldn't you want to do it on your main guitar? Can it break it?
You totally could. The idea is to have it on a 2nd guitar to supplement the main, but that’s assuming you don’t already have several guitars
you can, no doubt, but it gets a little tiresome for the ear when used all the time... at least for me... i have a dedicated guitar for it.. one with a lifting bridge problem... it works well ;9)

Pink Floyd and the Stones used it.
Sounds like you recorded this on a phone underwater.
I tried it 40 years ago. Then I bought a 12-string
Nashville tuning is so much more flexible than a 12 string!
@@officialWWM Not when you play it alone.
