New Standard Guitar Tuner | CGDAEG, String Gauge & Famous Songs

Описание: The New Standard Tuning (NST) is an alternative guitar tuning developed by Robert Fripp that expands the instrument’s range and encourages new chord voicings and melodic ideas.

🔧 New Standard Tuning Notes (Low to High)

C – G – D – A – E – G

NST is tuned mostly in perfect fifths, similar to violin and cello tunings, with a minor third on the top string. This creates a wide pitch range, piano-like clarity, and highly unconventional fingerings.

🎶 Famous Songs & Guitarists Using New Standard Tuning

King Crimson – “Frame by Frame” (Robert Fripp)
King Crimson – “Discipline”
King Crimson – “Elephant Talk”
The League of Crafty Guitarists repertoire
Guitar Craft compositions

New Standard Tuning is closely associated with Robert Fripp and King Crimson, especially during the Discipline era.

🎸 Ideal String Gauge for New Standard Tuning

Because NST spans a wide range with higher overall tension, custom or balanced string sets are recommended:

.011 – .059 (light but usable)
.010 – .058 (for shorter scale guitars)
Custom sets with a lighter high G string for intonation and feel

Many players prefer longer scale guitars or carefully adjusted setups for this tuning.

Massive pitch range and clarity
Encourages new musical ideas and fingerings
Excellent for polyrhythmic and contrapuntal playing
