How to tune from standard to ECDGAD

[13jobinbs13]

GuYS I HAVE A AWESOME IDEA !!!! if u want to tune A to C ,,,why not just remove the a string and ut it with a D string and drop it to A ?? :D .... a good idea for those who want to play this song very badly but u cant play anythign else other than Rylynn and related songs

:D :D D: ...THUMB UP ??

Ok, but your 'B' string is tuned to 'G' in the video. It should be 'A'. Maybe you were just hitting the wrong string though? thnks fer the vid though, now i know his tuning!

Mine did break when i tried to tune it up to C. Probably because i use 10 gauge. I tuned it an octave lower. It sounds good. Another bass note. :)

Although it bends easily so some notes are difficult to hold.

Hate to break this to ya, but I seen how you INSULT PEOPLE on the internet so, you got it coming...my only wish is that you were within the reach of my fists... plain an simple, you know DICK about music and you cant play to save your soul...and for the record, your pretty funny lookin. Have a nice day meathead.

Other pointers.

Get a small cylinder file from the hardware store and file down the edges of the hole where the string passes through the tuning post. Sharp edges will only increase the likelyhood of breaking the string, especially after repetitive up and down tunings between songs.

Light guage strings. Antoine Dufour uses a custom set.

12-15-23-32-42-56.

Lighter strings are less tense and more "stretchable".

informative video!
