Among alternative tunings for guitar, a major-thirds tuning is a regular tuning in which each interval between successive open strings is a major third ("M3" in musical abbreviation). Other names for major-thirds tuning include major-third tuning, M3 tuning, all-thirds tuning, and augmented tuning. By definition, a major-third interval separates two notes that differ by exactly four semitones (one-third of the twelve-note octave). The Spanish guitar's tuning mixes four perfect fourths (five semitones) and one major-third, the latter occurring between the G and B strings: E–A–D–G–B–E.

  • La afinación por terceras mayores es una afinación regular en la cual cada intervalo entre las cuerdas abiertas al aire sucesivas es una tercera mayor ("M3" en abreviatura musical).​ Otros nombres para esta afinación son la afinación en tercera mayor, afinación M3, círculo de terceras y afinación aumentada. Por definición, un intervalo de tercera mayor separa dos notas que difieren en cuatro semitonos (un tercio de la octava de doce notas). E-A-D-G-B-E. Esta afinación se utiliza para guitarras acústicas y eléctricas, denominada "estándar" en inglés, es irregular, mezclando cuatro cuartos y una tercera mayor, la afinación M3 es regular: Sólo los intervalos de tercera mayor se producen entre las cuerdas sucesivas de la afinación en M3, por ejemplo, la afinación de C abierto aumentada. G♯-C-E-G♯-C-E. Para cada afinación en M3, las cuerdas al aire forman una tríada aumentada en dos octavas. Para guitarras con seis cuerdas, cada afinación por terceras mayores repite sus tres notas abiertas en dos octavas, es por esto que hay muchas posibilidades para la digitación de acordes. Mediante la repetición de las notas cuerdas al aire y por los intervalos uniformes entre las cuerdas, la afinación por terceras mayores simplifica el aprendizaje. Estas características facilitan la improvisación a guitarristas avanzados,​​ el objetivo del guitarrista de jazz Ralph Patt inició con la popularización de la afinación por terceras mayores entre 1963 y 1964.

  • Among alternative tunings for guitar, a major-thirds tuning is a regular tuning in which each interval between successive open strings is a major third ("M3" in musical abbreviation). Other names for major-thirds tuning include major-third tuning, M3 tuning, all-thirds tuning, and augmented tuning. By definition, a major-third interval separates two notes that differ by exactly four semitones (one-third of the twelve-note octave). The Spanish guitar's tuning mixes four perfect fourths (five semitones) and one major-third, the latter occurring between the G and B strings: E–A–D–G–B–E. This tuning, which is used for acoustic and electric guitars, is called "standard" in English, a convention that is followed in this article. While standard tuning is irregular, mixing four fourths and one major third, M3 tunings are regular: Only major-third intervals occur between the successive strings of the M3 tunings, for example, the open augmented C tuning. G♯–C–E–G♯–C–E. For each M3 tuning, the open strings form an augmented triad in two octaves. For guitars with six strings, every major-third tuning repeats its three open-notes in two octaves, so providing many options for fingering chords. By repeating open-string notes and by having uniform intervals between strings, major-thirds tuning simplifies learning by beginners. These features also facilitate advanced guitarists' improvisation, precisely the aim of jazz guitarist Ralph Patt when he began popularizing major-thirds tuning between 1963 and 1964. (en)
