For drop D that you requested you tune the fat E string down to D. If you have a floating tremolo the other strings will be affected aswell since they go out of tune. If that's what you're hearing as "different sound" -------------------- My bands homepage

skimming about on the net for tabs this particular song is in Drop C tuning by the look of it
so your tuning will be C G C F A D -------------------- |

It's down tuning both the drop C and drop D. For drop C you may want to concider really thick strings. When you realize that it may be the right time to lose the idea

QUOTE (Young Guitarist @ Jun 10 2008, 01:22 PM) Im just using normal strings i got with the guitar.. well if the strings get cut off and i lose a finger (no, not loose the finger) then il blame u, k? ;P Wish me good luck Wait, does anyone here have MSN? .. i got a webcam,, so show me im confusedI'm glad to announce that I havn't got MSN, Yahoo, ICQ or any other chatprogram. But since you're planning to cut off your fingers with the strings it sounds to me you're still on the track of tightening them (which is wrong) -------------------- My bands homepage

QUOTE (Young Guitarist @ Jun 10 2008, 01:28 PM) not tighening, chill but omg, i loose it, then the tuner doesnt record a s***. its only liek "drrrrrr" i can hold the string like 5cm up in the air.I'm glad we're debating this, it helps your postcount. I recall you started out very well but then became a less frequent poster. If you can lift it 5 cm up in the air it's too much. Tune back to normal. The E should just go down 4 steps E->Eb->D->Db->C or E->D#->D->C#->C (same thing, depending on what your tuner shows) -------------------- My bands homepage

QUOTE (Young Guitarist @ Jun 10 2008, 01:33 PM) ok, now i tuned it back to 6E ... like my tuner shows. But, maybe i should ise another calib? its a button i got on it, it goes 438, 440, 442, 444, and 446 i think, i got it on 442, like the manual says =/ Does the manual say 442? Should be 440. If you have a selection for lower tuning, press it for two semitones lower. Tune the entire guitar two steps down to DGCFAD then tune the Estring (now D) down to C => CGCFAD If you can't manage the low D or C with the tuner just tune the strings you can tune, which would be all strings but the thick E string. Then you tune it to the G string - which now is C, just what you want, but still tuning down so there's a lower octave. Hence not the same pitch. Ok? -------------------- My bands homepage
