This tuning opens up new scale positions by creating more space between the hands for familiar right-hand scales, thus enabling a strong new scale position when the hands are close together. Because the melody strings are a whole step lower than the 12-String Classic™  tuning, the lettered melody notes match in stacked relationship with the bass on any given fret, descending in 4ths as the bass ascends in 5ths.
