Wow, thanks. You have most certainly made this plain and simple. I've had a very tough time with the half step down tuning. I've always tried my hardest at mastering the guitar. I had other people do it for me. No one actually explained it to me. Thanks for taking time to demonstrate all this. I'm so happy. Sometimes, things are so easy, (ridiculously easy,) It's complicated. Or, at least I've managed to make things difficult for my self. You have summed it up. I will never forget this. Thanks Party Marty. Alot of metal songs I grew up with, such as Ozzy, Kiss, Zeppelin just to name a few. Are tuned a half step down. This is what I needed. Blown away by all this. It really means a lot to me. I have found that if your guitar is tuned properly. You have a wider chance of finding the chords to any song. All you have shown me, makes prefect sense to me. And I will make sure I subscribe to your video. Will you do more videos on different tuning. Such as a whole step down and tuning to a flat D ? Ect, ect.

@vanhewitt 8 жыл бұрын

That's a aesy way to do it. But be aware. I think it has a disadvantage because a capo can pull a guitar out of tune. Especially due to the lower string tension. So in that case the open chords (after removing the capo) can be out of tune. That's why i tune the guitar without a capo. But when using a capo i retune the guitar. Or tune the guitar with the capo as suggested and after removing the capo do a fine tuning.
