The authors strongly recommend the use of low-fourth-string tuning (referred to here as "linear" tuning) in which the fourth string is replaced with a thicker string and tuned down an octave … This creates more opportunities for students to play in harmony (accompaniment parts often extend into the low-fourth-string range), clarifies the structure of scales and chords, and puts more repertoire at students' fingertips.
