It still has the basic 'Your Dog Has Fleas' G, C, E, A tuning, only each of the strings now has a match. The second "G" string is going to be tuned an octave up or down. The second "C" string is also an octave up or down. The second "E" and "A" strings are tuned the same as the other ones. The string line up will be like this G, G', C, C', E, E, A, A.
