GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Tuning Of This Song?

Posted by: bleez Apr 21 2012, 07:31 PM

Ive was trying to work out this song but Im not too sure of the tuning.... I thought it was standard with a dropped D but tbh Im not 100% sure.

any idea?

I think they have a standard tuning... It's hard to tell! I heard half step down so maybe E flat instead of E ?

YouTube actually distorts the tuning of a song. It is definitely not the best tool for ear training. A part of their licensing requires that songs are tuned down or up an eighth to a quarter step(they do this automatically). I don't know why, but compare every song you like that isn't an original video posted by a band or musician and you will see that I am right.

I am with Alex on this one. I am pretty certain it is actually in standard.
