A New Ancient Tuning
Happy G-tar is a community for guitar players exploring the Rasttar tuning system which is an overtone-aligned tuning derived from the natural acoustics of the ancient ney.
Here we share discoveries, techniques, compositions, and experiments with the tunings:
GDGBDF# or GDGBDG
Our goal is simple: learn together, explore together, and rediscover the guitar through a natural harmonic system inspired by ancient sound traditions.
If you are curious about new tonal landscapes, you are in the right place.
Beyond its environmental aspect, the Happy G-tar project promotes wellbeing, creativity, and mindfulness by encouraging people to unplug and reconnect with music in a meaningful way — synchronizing with natural vibrations.
A way to reconnect through sound, reduce overload, and rebuild community through shared music-making.
Whether you are a guitar player or simply curious:
You can try the Rasttar tuning yourself. It’s beautiful.
Simply tune in and join in.
You are very welcome.
