[1] Jazz musician Stanley Jordan plays guitar in all-fourths tuning; he has stated that all-fourths tuning "simplifies the fingerboard, making it logical".
All-fourths tuning is traditionally used for the bass guitar;[5] it is also used for the bajo sexto.
[8] Allan Holdsworth stated that if he were to learn the guitar again he would tune it in all-fourths.
