I broke a damn string trying to do that, watch out.

You tune up from there and you'll have three broken strings.

Tune whichever way is closest, as long as its reasonable. Just use common sense.

so i can do this?

Code: Select all

e  --------- e
b  --------- b
g down to  e
d down to   b
a down to  g
e   ------   e

i did it, but i put it back. it sounds kinda cool, but my guitar is breaking and my strings are old, and the combination won't let the EGBEBE stay in tune.

What is everyones opinion about just using a capo? I feel that you get the same sound overall without all the hassle.

I bet the album was called Busted Stuff because Dave like alot of other people , really Busted up some strings while trying to put things in tune

j/k do not pay attention to me right now

You're getting Busted Stuff Tuning (open Em: EGBEBE) confused with You Never Know and Stay or Leave tuning ("raised B": BEADF#B)

all i'm saying is that i'm really happy to see dave start using some alternative tunings. it really opens up the playing and you can make some really awesome chords and lots of droning notes also. i hope he keeps looking to alternative tunings in his next songs too.
