Does a 12 string acoustic guitar require different strings or are the usual six doubled up?
Only the 2 higher pitched strings are doubled, (high E, B). The first string of the lower pitched strings are normal, with the double string being a lighter gauge to facilitate an octave higher tuning. This method repeats itself for the Low E, A, D, & G strings.
What colors are Christmas light decorations usually come in?
Christmas lights come in a number of colors. There is the usual all-white string, but there are also strings of other colors, such as blue, red, green, or purple. You can also get muticolored strings of lights that have blue, red, green and yellow.
How do you start the gimp string?
You lay one string out then put the other string over the other so it forms a cross, then you pick up one end and put it over to the opposite string, then you take the one next to the string you just layed down and put that on the oppostie side, then you do like you usually would when you do the gimp and take the strings that aren't crossed and you put one over and under and the other string under and over. Then just pull on the ends and you have just started a gimp.
How many string are usually on a stringed instrument?
It depends on which instrument you're talking about.For example, a Bass Guitar has 4 strings while a regular guitar has 6. Violins all have 4 strings, whether they are bass or not. Each musical instrument will have its own number of strings depending on what sort of instrument it is.
In 5 string bass guitar the low b string is same as an open e?
No it's not. It is 5 steps (frets) lower than the usual low E. Some 5 strings have a high B added. That would be tuned 5 steps above open G. A 5 string isn't the only way to get a low B. I just restringed my bass to BEAD. Still 4 strings so the neck is narrow, but I gave up the G string for the low B.
What is the harps tone color?
The usual color coding for a traditional harp is Red for the C-strings and Blue for the F-strings. (I'm not sure there is a strict color code and) I have seen harps with string of gold, silver and black too.
How to tune a guitar equipped with locking tuners?
To tune a guitar with locking tuners, first loosen the locking screw on each tuner. Then, tune the strings using the tuning pegs as usual. Once in tune, tighten the locking screw to secure the string in place. Repeat for all strings.
How do you tune a 12 string acoustic guitar?
The twelve-string guitar is based on the six-string guitar. The basis for the tuning of the strings are therefore (lowest to highest pitch) E A D G B E. The twelve-string guitar has each of these strings doubled. Lutenists are used to calling doubled strings "courses", so a course would be a pair of strings placed close enough together that they can be fingered with one finger and played together. This is convenient terminology, especially when the two strings are not tuned in the same octave, so I'll use it here! The first two or three courses are generally tuned in unison, i.e., in the same octave. The D and A strings are almost always tuned in octaves, with the higher string on the physically upper side, so a thumb stroke will hit them before the lower string. From there out, 12-string players have many variations. The most 'common' tuning of the 12-string guitar is with the bottom three courses in octaves and the top three courses in unisons. The first usual variation is for the third course, the Gs, to be tuned in octaves. This makes the four lower courses octaves, and the top two unisons. One variation, used by Ledbelly, has the G course in octaves and the lowest string, E, in two octaves, using a 'top' E string along with a normal bottom E string. (The octave-tuned upper E string would be on the order of the D string lower string's thickness.) Beyond that, it is quite common to 'detune' the 12-string guitar. One of the most common variants is the "Drop D tuning", i.e., D A D G B E. The next variation on "Drop D" is to drop both top and bottom courses to D: D A D G B D. In this case, the top string is often left open, as if it is a drone, while the inner four strings are used for fingering chords. Other approaches tune the entire guitar to chords: DADGAD (a common dobro tuning), E B E G# B E and E A E A C# E being the most common. The former makes the guitar sound a normally-fingered first-position E major chord, the second, a normally-fingered A chord. Obviously, these kinds of variations require different fingerings for chords to work. ========================= The above is incorrect. Twelve-string guitars are usually tuned EADGBE, with the top two strings (B and high E) having a double of the same pitch, and the bottom four strings (EADG) having strings that are high octaves. I have never seen a 12-string that doesn't have an octave string for the G, which is the key to the "jangle" of 12-strings. In fact, two variants of the 12-string acoustic are the Roger McGuinn Martin signature, which is a 7-string guitar where the extra string is the G octave. I also recently saw an Alvarez 9-string guitar which has the G octave, B doubled, and E doubled strings added to the standard six EADGBE strings. There is also "Nashville tuning", which is a 6-string guitar that only has high octaves for EADG and normal B and high E strings. In other words, the 12-string guitar without the "normal" strings. This type of tuning is useful for adding that high shimmer to the acoustic sound without the exertion of having to play 12 strings, and also to avoid muddying up the low end by too many acoustic strings sounding. Notably, one of the most popular and famous 12-string models, the Rickenbacker 12-string electrics, have their strings backwards -- with the low strings first, so that when strumming down, the lower strings sound first and respond more to the pick attack -- a key element to the distinct sound of Rickenbacker 12-strings.
Whats the difference between an acoustic guitar and a classical acoustic guitar?
Nylon strings are lower tension in comparison to steel strings and have a warmer tone than steel string, thus making steel strings higher tension than nylon with a brighter tone than nylon strings.
How do you play double-stops on a violin?
place the bow on both strings at once and then bow as usual
What is a triad guitar and how does it differ from a traditional guitar?
A triad guitar is a type of guitar that has three strings instead of the usual six strings found on a traditional guitar. This makes it smaller and easier to play for beginners or those with smaller hands. The tuning and playing technique are also different on a triad guitar compared to a traditional guitar.
Are there any good bass guitars that are lighter than usual?
There are many good, light bass guitars. Some good brands include Rees Guitars Lightweight F-Light Bass Guitar and the Yamaha RBX4 A2 Super-Light Electric Bass Guitar.
