Here's what I have so far - about the first 20 seconds. I don't think he is alternating up/down with the thumb.

Code: Select all

tuned 1/2 step down

If I wanted to tune down a 1/2 step, do I hold down on the second ferret for them all, and the first for the B, and then use my tuner regularly?

But seriously, don't hold anything down.
Use the tuner and tune it.

I really detest this method, being that if you have the capo on, you are putting different tensions on the strings, therefore effecting their tune. Take it off and they will go out of tune instantly. Also, if the capo bends the strings at all when it's put on, they will tune bent and then be out of tune when unbent.

That's amazing. How long did it take you to figure that out?

Those ferrets really piss me off. I've got a qwik tune though, so i'll probly have to go with that method.

is it really that hard to tune a half step down by fretting the 6th fret on the E String, tuning it down until it matches the A, then tuning regularly from there?

Thanks, it probably took a couple hours. I just sat down and listened about 300 times, and I also used the "slow" feature in Windows Media Player to help figure out some of it. I figured out the bass line and then the melody and then put them together. I've been busy with school and work, so I haven't had any time to go farther with it.

yea true, but it gets you there in a hurry.. you can always fine tune

for an awesome tuner, if you have a mic for your pc is called the ap tuner, it has like 40 preset tunings available on it. very nice for experimentation
