To rune and hide_tremonti and other guitar players

[Bridge of Clay]

I dunno! I set the tune and strum the chords, but it doesn´t sound like it

[Unforgiven Fan]

right now for me bullets is the hardest for me but one, DSD, and WTLF is pretty easy to play.

[Bridge of Clay]

another one that´s pretty easy is Wrong Way

[tru2mine]

this might be a dumb question but how do you tune to drop d with a tuner.

[Rune]

turn your E knob towards you until the tuner registers it as a D.


If you want to check it, fret 7 on your guitar and it should sound the same as your A string

[Bridge of Clay]

hey, Rune! I tried One! It´s easy too! Thanks!

[DangerousDan85]

this is probably a dumb question, but since turning the knob towards me makes it lower, how am i supposed to make the E sound like D, i thought D was higher?

i'm trying to use my electric tuner and the strings are

6E, 5A, 4D, 3G, 2B, 1E

i'm lost

(i'm obviously not good at this kinda stuff)

[Bridge of Clay]

lol!

I have no idea too!

[DangerousDan85]

i'll just have Rune come over to my house and show me how it's done :lol:

[Bridge of Clay]

lol! he´ll have to come to my house first!

[Rune]

the d your looking for is lower than the E, on an actual scale you are right, but with how the strings tune when you turn the knobs, it's not note by note, it skips as you turn it more and more, in this case, if you turn it towards you for usually one full turn it'll be D.

If it's right, it should sound an octave lower than your D string

[hide_tremonti]

A - A#/Bb - B - C - C#/Db - D - D#/Eb - E - F - F#/Gb - G - G#/Ab - A
E is 2 semitones (a tone, or a whole step) higher than D.

Thats why you'll see things that say "tuned 1/4 step, tuned 1/2 step and tuned 1 step down."

Never heard of 1/4 step.
