Django on guitalele

[Warnisari]

cn we use normal guitar string to install into guitarlele?

[GoKoutaki]

@Warnisari Yes. But it may be low tension. I recommend high tension nylon strings.

how do you tune this? mine would slacks badly on standard, so i tune to A (fourth higher). sounds great, but its pretty difficult to transpose all the changes for the tune, then navigating fretboard when soloing over the changes is a bit confusing.

@MrGalileomagnifico

Thank you for comments.

I tune the guitalele to the same tuning of the normal guitar(E A D G B E).

But in this tuning, the tension of guitar is very weak.

If you have the guitalele and you try the tuning,

I recommend to use the high tension strings(ex. D'Addario EJ45)

and shift the strings such as 2B->1E, 3G->2B, 4D->3G, 5A->4D, 6E->5A.

@GoKoutaki then what should we use for the low E?

[GoKoutaki]

@MrGalileomagnifico

I used EJ45 to 1-5 strings. And I used EJ46(Hard tension) to low E.

Thus, two type of guitar strings set(EJ45, EJ46) are used.

It will sound better, and larger sound volume!

Thank you! I like this sound, too. I'll do my best.
