170 THE C2-G2-D3-A3-D4-G4 5-5-5-4-4 TUNING OFTHE 6-STRING GUITAR AND OUD

This is the tuning


C2-G2-D3-A3-D4-G4 tuning (for a children's 53 cm scale length guitar)



Because the highest 3 strings A3-D4-G4 are of equal intervals of 4 apart, it allows for ordinary major and minor chord triads with easy dominant and major 7nths.

Notice that the 4-strings G2-D3-A3-D3 is already an  Irish bouzouki tuning


This applies for the Oud and even a66cm scale length standard 6-string guitar



C2-G2-C3-F3-C4-G4

The above tuning seems to be  one with the almost maximum number of strings an interval of 5 apart which also allows for easy 1 or 2 frets major-minor triads
It has the minor-major triads at highest pitch

THE LATER TUNING ALLOWS TO PLAY IN MELODIES THE PARTS OF THE MELODIC THEMES OF INTERVALS OF 2 OR 3 HORIZONTALLY WHILE SΗIFT THE MELODIC THEME BY INTERVALS OF 4, 5 OR 8 VERTICALLY (FOR MELODIC THEMES MUTATIONS). IN TOTAL I FIND THIS TUNING VERY CONVENIENT FOR MELODIES IMPROVISATION.
