195. TWO OPEN TUNING MODIFICATIONS OF THE OVERTONE TUNING FOR THE 6 STRING GUITAR AND OUD


The overtone tuning is the


1-1'-5'-1''-3''-5''        8-5-4-3M-3m

C2-C3-G3-C4-E3-G4

The two modifications are


1'-5'-1''-3''-5''-7''        5-4-3M-3m-3M

e.g.   C2-G2-C3-E3-G3-B3

AND
in order to have also more 5ths, we permute the last 4 strings as in the tuning of the post 194

3'-5'-1''-5''-3''-7''        3M-4-5-6m-5 

e.g.  C2-E2-A2-E3-C4-G4    which is an open Am7 tuning


Still more variations are  the 

8-5-4-3M-4 or 1-1'-5'-1''-3''-6'' OR  C2-C3-G3-C4-E3-A4 which is also open C6 chord tuning
OR  G1-G2-D3-G3-B3-E4 As this is not very practical with the type of strings that exist the next modification is more practical

and 5-5-4-3M-4 as in post 219  C2-G2-D3-G3-B3-E4. The later may not be open tuning but
it has advantages of chord-triads in the lower 3 strings

ALSO

C2-G2-C3-G3-C4-E4  5-4-5-4-3M

We may compare the above variations of the overtone open tuning with the next 3rd variation of the overtone open tuning

C2-G2-C3-G3-C4-E4  (5-4-5-4-3M)
