- String 5, the short g: open, G, not in the chord
Sounds: B♯ G♯ B♯ E · Eaug is E, G♯, B♯ (1 · 3 · ♯5)
The 5th string: the short g rubs against the G♯ in this shape, a semitone away: some players let it ring, some skip it.
C Tuning tuning: gCGBD, the short 5th string first, then strings 4 to 1.
The link can’t set the tuning: the app starts in open G. Choose C Tuning once in its Settings and it remembers.
