My impression is that the guitar in a Kef band is tuned standard (EADGE). The guitar is playing standard minor and major chords, mostly in closed
positions. You can see from the left hand of the guitarists in youtube videos (including Kenneth Kalagian playing guitar with with Harry Minassian)
that these are familiar guitar chords. These positions would sound wrong if the guitar was tuned another way. |
