Why is G D G b the most common 4 string layout?
By BCurtis
Been working through the 3 string slide course, learning a lot and having fun. I currently own a 3 string license plate CBG. However I had a 4 string standard CBG made and should be arriving soon. I am looking forward to starting the 4 string fretted course. The 4 string will be more for chord and fretted playing, where the 3 string is more for blues and slide playing. I was curious on the most common tuning of the 4 string, G D g b. So in open tuning you have the root, fifth, octave, third (of the octave). Why is the third placed as the third of the octave?
