Not exactly music, but music is impossible without these.

Tuning tones for a six-stringed electric tenor guitar in a "C" (two tones down) setup, math equal-temper, A4=430.53 Hz.

String 1 - C3 - 256 Hz


String 1 - C4 - 512 Hz


String 2 - G2 - 191.8 Hz


String 2 - G3 - 383.6 Hz


String 3 - D# - 152.2 Hz


String 3 - D# - 304.4 Hz


String 4 - A# - 114 Hz


String 4 - A# - 228 Hz


String 5 - F1 - 85.5 Hz


String 5 - F1 - 171 Hz


String 6 - C1 - 64 Hz


String 6 - C2 - 128 Hz


How this works: switch the guitar to bass pickup or "rhythm" mode. Tune a string until plucking it hits the same note (could be an undertone or overtone, not necessarily fundamental) as the tone being played. Intonating the strings afterwards is a good idea.
