I just figured something out when I was playing along some drop tuned metal song with guitar pro tabs: If you can not tune to the tuning of the song (strings not thick enough, no tuner, locking tremolo...) then why not tune the song into your tuning?!?!? For example: You have your guitar tuned to E standard and want to play an Arch Enemy song that is tuned to C standard (4 HALFSTEPS DOWN!!!) then you must not buy thick strings and set your guitar up, you take the guitar pro tab of this song and select the guitar tracks by clicking on the name of the track (for example lead or Player Name). A window will appear that's called track settings, and it will show you how each string is tuned. Select the standard tuning from the scroll down menu and click OK. Guitar pro will now ask if you want to transpond the track, where you select no. Now change all string instrument tracks the same way into your standard E tuning and don't let guitarpro transpond it! The whole song is now set to your tuning, of course it is now in a higher key but the fingerings stay the same and you can practice the song!

There are some downsides, being that if there's a high note being played on some of the highest frets, they will be deleted if they go out of...ehr... fret board reach.

If the original theme is , for example, in tuning DGCFAD (one tone low), put capo II in each melodic instrument and it will sounds in stardand tuning, and the score will be the same, no need any transposition. It´s very useful also in the great numbers of pieces that are in Eb (then put capo I) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
