GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ What tuner to use?

Posted by: Lurch Jun 28 2006, 09:28 PM

:sun
Ive been playing for 2 years now (self taught). I know how to tune drop D and drop C. But I want to tune my guitar like this, B F# B E G# C# but i have no clue how i could do this :think . My tuner only tunes E A D G B E. IT also tunes my guitar down 1/2 a step and 1 whole step. Do I need a better tuner? If so what is the best one to get to fit my needs? Or is it really easy to tune like that and im just stupid?

The tuner i am using is SEIKO ST737.

Thanks for your help

use your tuner to tune the two B's and the E.

hold down the 7th fret on the low B string to get the F# and use that to tune the next string.

hold down the 4th fret on the E string to get the G# then use that to tune the next.

hold down the 5th fret on the G# string to get C# then use that note to tune the last string.

that's how i would do it anyway. i think thats right anyway.
by the way why do you want to tune it like that out of interest.
