Yovianna Garcia performs "Fox-ey" by Nolan Stolz. The guitar is specially tuned with sixth-tone deviations from standard pitch to allow for a third-tone scale. "Fox-ey" references both Jimi Hendrix and composer Christopher Fox.
@WBHNH The low "E" is at standard pitch. String #1 is D# (+33 cents), String #2 is B (-33 cents), String 3 is F#, String 4 is C# (+33cents), String 5 is A (-33 cents), and String 6 is the low E. Essentially, instead of the strings tuned in ascending perfect fourths with one major third, it starts with the same low "E" but each string is 466 cents (33 cents smaller than a perfect fourth) higher than the next one.
