G11 tuning - dobro

Post by Doug Beaumier »

(audio no longer online)

It's an easy re-tune from G. Just tune strings 1, 2, & 3 down a whole step.

G G11

D ---> C
B ---> A
G ---> F
D D
B B
G G

G11 is a combination tuning. The top 4 strings make F, F6, Dm, Dm7, and the bottom 5 strings are G, G7, G9.

F major = strings 1, 2, 3
F6 (and Dm7) = strings 1, 2, 3, 4
Dm = strings 2, 3 ,4

G major = strings 4, 5, 6
G7 = strings 3, 4, 5, 6
G9 = strings 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
