Update for Issue 2: Neko Case’s Tenor Guitar Tuning
May 11th, 2006
We’ve been getting a few letters asking how Neko Case tunes her tenor guitars. For the record, she tunes it DGBE, just like the top four strings of a six-string guitar in standard tuning. If you’re interested in learning more about tenor guitars, check out Tenorguitar.com, which has lots of photos of rare tenors, a nice history of the tenor guitar, an active and friendly chat room and a good tutorial in playing tenor guitar in the CGDA tuning.-MJS (Photo of tenor guitar fretboard coutesy of Frank Ford at Frets.com)

Just read this article….
And here I thought that Neko “got” the symmetrical beauty of tuning in fifths.
BTW…I was surprised to see the Journal in a mainstream bookstore. In this case it was Borders.
Keep up the great work. Love the content!
