It assigns one note to all strings, e.g. E-E-e-e-e'-e' or D-D-D-D-d'-d'. The term "ostrich guitar" was coined by the Velvet Underground's Lou Reed after the pre-Velvet Underground song "The Ostrich"[1] by Lou Reed and the Primitives, on which he first recorded using this tuning, the first known commercial composition to make use of a trivial guitar tuning.[2] Musical theoryThe trivial tuning is a regular tuning based on the unison musical interval, which has zero semitones. It assigns exactly one pitch class (for example D, A{{music|#}}, F or B) to all guitar-strings, tuned to the same note over two or three octaves.[3] This creates an intense, chorused drone music, and interesting fingering potential. Among alternative tunings for the guitar, the trivial tuning is a regular and repetitive tuning. It is its own left-handed tuning.[4] ExampleTo create a trivial D tuning from a standard guitar tuning: 1d ----- * downtuned to d (from e to d) 2d ----- * uptuned to d (from B to d) 3D ----- * downtuned to D (from G to D) 4D ----- * left at standard 5D ----- * uptuned to D (from A to D) 6D ----- * downtuned to D (from E to D) OriginsThe term "ostrich guitar" was coined by Lou Reed in 1965 after the song "The Ostrich" by Lou Reed and the Primitives, on which he first used this tuning.[5][6] John Cale, a collaborator with avant-garde composer La Monte Young, recognised the similarity between Reed's guitar tuning and Young's work involving drone music when he was hired to play Reed's song "The Ostrich" as part of a fabricated touring group.[7]Reed and Cale (who would play viola, keyboards and bass) began to collaborate and investigate the connections between ostrich tuning and drone music, as the band introduced new members (such as guitarist Sterling Morrison and percussionist Angus MacLise, another student of La Monte Young) and they became known as the Velvet Underground. Cale had composed and recorded Loop in 1964, but which became the first EP released under this band name, composed of drones played on an electric viola, and the combination of both Cale's viola and Reed's guitar tunings would be an early hallmark of their work. Reed used ostrich tunings on the 1967 album The Velvet Underground & Nico on the songs "Venus in Furs" (appearing at the end of the song) and "All Tomorrow's Parties",[8] which also included Cale playing drones on viola. According to an interview with drummer Moe Tucker in What Goes On?, Reed's ostrich guitar was a guitar that had its frets removed, and was stolen shortly after the album sessions.[9] Notes1. ^{{cite web | last= Reed | first= Lou | title= The Ostrich b/w Sneaky Pete | url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vRsnzbTvnY | work= Youtube | publisher= Pickwick Publishing Inc 1965 | accessdate= 28 October 2013}} 2. ^{{cite book | last= Bockris | first= Victor | title= Lou Reed The Biography Fully Revised Edition | year= 1995 | publisher= Vintage | location= London | isbn= 0-09-930381-7}} 3. ^{{cite book | last= Harvard | first= Joe | title= The Velvet Underground & Nico | origyear= 2004 | series= 33⅓ | year= 2007 | publisher= Continuum International Publishing Group | location= New York, NY | isbn= 0-8264-1550-4}} 4. ^{{harvtxt|Sethares|2001|p=53}}: {{cite book|chapter=Regular tunings|title=Alternate tuning guide|first=Bill|last=Sethares|authorlink=William Sethares|year=2001|pages=52–67|url=http://sethares.engr.wisc.edu/alternatetunings/regulartunings.pdf|format=pdf|publisher=University of Wisconsin; Department of Electrical Engineering|location=Madison, Wisconsin|ref=harv|accessdate=19 May 2012|id=2010 Alternate tuning guide, including a revised chapter on regular tunings}} References
