Standard tuning changes the fret positions used by each scale. Select a key and scale below to open its map, note list, position tabs and matching chords. The scale finder reads strings high to low as E B G D A E. Standard tuning is E-A-D-G-B-E from low to high. Use it to compare these scale positions with most guitar lesson diagrams.
