So I was trying to tune my guitar into some of the weird tunings last nihgt. I have the black Korg tuner that costs like $18 or whatever.
When how do you tune a note to flat. At first I was tuning it to -20 cents, then I realized that on some strings it would say the note where it normally does, but the it had a "b" next to it. So I tuned those to the dead middle when I could.
And some strings (B) wouldnt let me tune it into a Db.
lastly, why when some people tab it they say it is tuned in DADddd
why are some D's and some d's? sorry, i just am very inexperiences in different tunings but want to learn.

I'm glad you said something, its one of those things I knew but I completely wasnt thinking about it. If i looked logically i'd think that C to D is a full step and going sharp or flat would be the half step inbetween, but I never made that connection that they are the same note. thanks.i-am-me wrote:alex....i'm asking this question out of curiousity. don't be offended. do you konw actual notes? do you understand that say...C# and Db are the same thing? i think that's what might be confusing you.checkii wrote:So I was trying to tune my guitar into some of the weird tunings last nihgt.

what order does notation go in? I can never remember them all.
btw, i still dont get why sometimes my tuner will tune a note to flat or sharp, but then other times it wont tune it to that.
