Carraba is pretty emo, and i dont like the teenie bopper scream alongs, but he is a pretty good song writer. Hes got melody and knows how to write. SO i do give him credit. My 2c.

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.

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.

I do have a chromactic tuner. ;)
had to because of the octaves of my banjo and the fact that it cant stay in tune more than 3 minutes.

What MHZ should it be set to btw???

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.

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.
