Guitar Lessons : How to Down Tune a Guitar to Drop B

[jakecoia]

who cares if its not drop b, its still the same concept. its not hard

[AstroCreep999]

First of all its drop D and secondly its not even the right way to drop it to D FAIL!

[Shadowtjestalker]

@AstroCreep999 How is that not the right way to tune to drop D? It's just matching the D in octaves in stead of Matching the A on both strings.

...What a horrible sound.

[Kardflow]

If I had a guitar tuned down to drop B, would it be a good idea to have a bass tuned down to drop B or does a 5 string bass work just fine? Anyone?

[w00per]

@Kardflow doesn't really matter. both would work. Assuming the 5s Bass has 5th string that is tuned to B.

[nirvanaruleforever]

@Kardflow 5 string for sure makes room for improv and stuff

[skrape110]

@Kardflow

you could technically use the five string standard tuning (BEADG) but only the low string would match up. if it were me, tune it to match the guitars. so the guitar's lowest strings would be B F# B and E. then your bass' lowest string would become a low F#, or G# depending on where you preferred your tuning (perfect fifths or not). OR finally, you could tune the lowest string to B, then F#, then B, then E, then a higher string. depends on your taste really.

Information Fail

[arinlares]

To all of the incompetent lackeys who didn't pay attention: The first guitar (the blue one), is in Drop B, the second one is in D.

[HeatMaster22]

That's drop Db...

[NaturalSelection9837]

[XDerekTM]

[Bartdehunk]

[redxangel50]

[jaidonnn]

the guy says its drop d tuning its just the titles messed up

[sUiCiD3AZT]

thats d asshole

[1lu2ma3ca]

isnt that drop d?

[chickenguard]

DUDE! thats DROP D!

[Kardflow]

@chickenguard He says that too. must have been a typo.

[Mofo666Seansaid]

I think that tuning is drop D because 5th fret on the A string has the same tone as the one on the D string...and tuning a whole step down is D....
