    yeh iv been playing standard and its been sounding ok, then i read on 2 different pages to tune ur guitar down, ill give it a try to see what it sounds like.
  2. Well, when you tune down half or full steps, your strings will have less tension and therefore bending or simply pulling them will be easier; your playing speed will likely improve too (less effort pulling the strings = more speed all around the fretboard). Some players like it, some of us don't. Just try, you might like it
  3. tuned it down, cant really tell the diff... still would appreciate sum help for the little fill edge plays from the 2 min mark of AIWIY from Milan in 05

  6. anyone know a good 'guitar pro' software to use?


  7. Ohh. There are ways you know...
    Anyway, I heard about another software called Powertab. I have never used it, but it looked to be an almost exact copy of guitar pro.

  10. TC ELECTRONICS POLYTUNE.

    It will be the best $99.99 you ever spent.

    It works for guitar, bass.

    It can be used as a chromatic tuner, to tune one string at a time.

    If you strum all 6 strings it works in "polytune" mode which will show you which of the 6 strings you just strummed are out of tune. Great for fast cleanup of tuning will on stage.

    You can also set it to strobe-tune which is incredibly accurate.

    You can ALSO set the tuner for a guitar tuning of E, Eb, D, C or B. Helpful if you are switching between E and Eflat tunings.

    The "Polytune" mode doesn't work with Drop D, open or modal tunings (alternative tunings) but the it can still be used in the single string at a time "Chromatic" mode.

    Again, it will be the best $99.99 you ever spent. It's far more accurate than Boss tuners. (And Boss tuners are not horrible).

    A better tuner? Don't know there is one is this price range. The Peterson Strobo-Stomp, and Flip-Strobe are amazing, accurate and $200 to $300.

    Dallas Schoo uses a variety of Peterson strobe-tuners and there is a Boss tuner on Edge's pedalboard.

    For my tech gig, I used a Boss TU-12 to get the guitars close and Peterson Strobo-Stomp to dial in the accuracy. I will now be using the TC Electronics Polytune to get things close to perfect and Peterson to get them dead on.

    Why not JUST the Peterson? If you've used a strobe tuner you will see that they are very sensitive. So if the guitar is VERY out, the display spins fast... I have just found it easier to get them close with a chromatic tuner and then fine tune with the strobe tuner.
