12-String Matched Reciprocal™ with High Bass 4th
This tuning is identical to the
Matched Reciprocal™
tuning except that the highest bass string is tuned up only a 4th
to an A as opposed to being tuned up a 5th to a B. The 4th tuning on
that string allows the power root-5th-root chord to be played on those
strings with a single finger and also enables colorful jazz chordal
voicings within easy left hand grasp. This high bass 4th is also applicable to 12-String Classic™
and Deep Matched Reciprocal™ tunings.
