tuning down a half step in all likelihood won't make a difference, but a substantial change in string gauges may. just keep alert

Or do you compensate for that by conversion so you stay in the same key?]]> Guitar Players Discussion Bish https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tuned-down-1-2-step-1-fret-tonight-wow/#post-246430 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tuned-down-1-2-step-1-fret-tonight-wow/#post-26048 Wed, 06 Jun 2007 09:19:00 +0000
With the band, I've have refused to play Heartbreaker by Pat Benatar unless I bought a detuned guitar. Why? 4 out of the 6 chords are flats and my mind just cannot think of so many flats. I've typed the song to play with a standard guitar and with a flat guitar. I was so jazzed at how much easier it was for me when I detuned my guitar.

As such, I've been planning to buy a guitar and detune it. Tonight has solidified my desire for that because it made so much more sense. Further, it made fingering so much more comfortable. No pain! I've been having fretting hand wrist pain for almost 2 years now. Downing beer has really helped. But I detuned without brew earlier and no pain. I'm pretty excited about it. I may even use 10-46 on my main guitar just based on my test tonight. We'll see.]]> Guitar Players Discussion corbind https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/tuned-down-1-2-step-1-fret-tonight-wow/#post-26048
