So much to learn, so little time ...


How I regret my misspent youth when I could've been learning the guitar! :twisted: :lol:]]> Slide and Alternate tunings BluezOldy https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/drop-d-3/paged/2/#post-259829 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/drop-d-3/paged/2/#post-259826 Thu, 16 Aug 2007 05:46:00 +0000
Just touch a finger lightly against the string then pull off as soon as you've plucked....

:D :D :D

Thanks, Vic.]]> Slide and Alternate tunings BluezOldy https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/drop-d-3/paged/2/#post-259766 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/drop-d-3/paged/2/#post-259703 Wed, 15 Aug 2007 18:13:17 +0000
Do you think it's possible to tune the top string down to an octave of the third string?

What do you do for G or D tuning, buy a special tuner?]]> Slide and Alternate tunings tinsmith https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/drop-d-3/paged/2/#post-259703 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/drop-d-3/paged/2/#post-259698 Wed, 15 Aug 2007 16:57:49 +0000
I'd never heard that a dial tone was A440. According to Wikipedia, that's true - but it's mixed with 350Hz (F) and 425Hz (between G# and A). It'd be pretty hard to use that for tuning.]]> Slide and Alternate tunings NoteBoat https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/drop-d-3/paged/2/#post-259698 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/drop-d-3/paged/2/#post-259688 Wed, 15 Aug 2007 15:52:07 +0000

when I tune I go somewhere quiet and tune to the universe; Bb.
something I also read on line.

Vic That's why I have three tuners! :lol:

I'm glad I found this thread.

Speaking here as a newbie: My teenage daughter came home from her guitar lesson last night and the teacher had tuned the guitar to DADGBE because she has started on power chords.

My daughter seemed to be under the impression that the 6th string could only be tuned to D by tuning to the other string. Neither my daughter nor I can tune without the electronic tuner (yet anyway).

Now, my impression from this thread is that I can tune the 6th string to D using a tuner. Have I got it right?

I'm being lazy here and I could check the guitar but going to D is downtuning? Does that mean the string is a little slacker and buzz could be introduced on the frets?]]> Slide and Alternate tunings BluezOldy https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/drop-d-3/#post-259658 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/drop-d-3/#post-248618 Sun, 17 Jun 2007 17:11:42 +0000 Slide and Alternate tunings jeremyd https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/drop-d-3/#post-248618
