Summary[edit]

Introduction[edit]

The new standard tuning of Robert Fripp and his Guitar Craft (Guitar Circle)—also called C-major pentatonic tuning or Guitar Craft tuning ("Crafty" tuning).

Contents[edit]

The diagrams provide basic chords for a beginning guitarist. With the accompanying audio files (especially the WAV file), the chords sample the harmonic palette of new standard tuning.

Discussion[edit]

New standard tuning offers thirds-based chords with simple fingerings; in particular, triads can be simply inverted with little left-hand movement. Since tertian triads and seventh chords are are the fundamental chords of conventional music, new standard tuning can be considered by guitarists wishing to play conventional music, for example jazz standards.

Coda: Caveats and acknowledgments[edit]

The acknowledgments to Robert Fripp, Guitar Circle, and Guitar Craft are for only identification purposes. I have no affiliation with Fripp or Guitar Circle, and I have not sought approval of this work (which has not received review). In 2014 I am delighted to note that Fripp's blessings included this 2013 benediction on NST popularization:

I love the idea of the NST leaving the cloister and being useful in the wider world. Let’s give the NST a helpful shove on its way.

The music was typeset with Guitar Pro 6, which generated the associated image (png and pdf) and audio (wav and midi) files. The first (2013) version was typeset using GNU Lilypond (via the Frescobaldi interface for editing).
