If you’re looking to add some high-end sparkle and harmonic interest to your acoustic guitar parts, the Nashville Tuning method is a great option. It’s also really easy to do, simply requiring the “thin” strings from a standard 12-string set. Setting your six-string up like this will add an instant ethereal edge to your recordings or live performances. Download tabs: https://bit.ly/3kmqRa2

In this short acoustic guitar video tutorial, Elixir Strings artist Shawn Persinger takes you through the specifics of how to correctly string your guitar for Nashville Tuning and shows some examples in the style of the Rolling Stones’ “Wild Horses” and Pink Floyd’s “Hey You” – both of which feature layers of high-strung guitars.

Whether on stage or in the studio, Shawn plays Elixir Acoustic and Electric Strings for their tuning stability and long tone life. Check them out: https://www.elixirstrings.com/products
