E9 tuning
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
E9 tuning is a common tuning for steel guitar necks of more than six strings. In particular, it is the most common tuning for the far neck on a two-neck table steel guitar or pedal steel guitar, most often combined with C6 tuning for the near neck, and also a popular tuning for single neck instruments of eight or more strings.
The E9 tuning has evolved to support optimal chord and scale patterns across a single fret on the 10-string pedal steel guitar.
Corresponding tunings for a six string lap steel guitar are the E6 tuning E-G♯-B-C♯-E-G♯, or E7 tuning B-D-E-G♯-B-E.
A popular E9 tuning for eight string table steel guitar is the western swing tuning E-G♯-B-D-F♯-G♯-B-E, low to high and near to far.
The standard Nashville E9 tuning for ten string pedal steel guitar is B-D-E-F♯-G♯-B-E-G♯-D♯-F♯.
The Pink Floyd song "Hey You" from their album The Wall is notable for using this form of guitar tuning.
"Nashville Tuning" can also refer to the practice of tuning the G string on a standardly tuned six-string guitar an octave higher. This is usually achieved by replacing a G string of standard gauge with the octave-G string from a 12-string set.
