I'm a musician with an experience of more than a decade.

A standard tuning of guitar from the heavy to light string is E A D G B e If we notice, there are no sharps or flats but we're also missing C & F It can be multiple keys C major, G major (has only one sharp i.e F#), or D major (two sharps F#, C#)
