@constar10 If you knew how you wouldn't be here. Learn some basic respect, you are the cunt here, we have to live together in something called 'society' in case you hadn't noticed. It makes it easier when people aren't complete dicks, just a heads up.

[TripleRainbowify]

Thanks a lot for this.

[funkablesamurai]

awsome man, but can you do a version in which you play each note 5 times?

[GuitarSource]

@omnipotent1995 I should point out that when I described the frequency in an earlier comment as A standard at 440 Hz the open A 5th string on a guitar is 110 Hz (two octaves lower). Cut that frequency in half and you get the open A on a bass or 55 Hz. I assume you're asking the low B on a 5 string bass which is 30.87 Hz. Researching your question a bit, I ran into a description of a sub-bass which is a 5 string yet another octave lower. The B frequency on that is 15.44 Hz.

[JiBo96]

how to do this with a normal tuner? The buttons are:

CALIB: DOWN OR ^

FLAT: DOWN OR ^

GUITAR/BASS (I don't think so)

[YourAFuckinDork]

Aaaaah E flat...the times we've had.

[mongfarmer]

Why the fuck are you plucking the strings so hard?

[WhatsAscope]

thanks this really helped me play GnR tracks!

[YourNameHere136]

@WhatsAscope ik thats why im doing this too

[ZurkonTheDestroyer]

@WhatsAscope Funny you should say my teacher said I needed to tune to Eb for paradise city and this is what I used to help.

[binhleau]

thanks

[rockandmetalfan8]

thanks!!

[legalzinho12]

The flat tuning is awesome for blues,like lighning hopkins,robert johnson. congrats...

[Tragedyinagraveyard]

thanks man this is the most helpfull one i could find

[enlightenedanarcho]

thanks trying to do some Bruce Cockburn! early stuff! : )

[DARKBLOOZ]

Thanks for this. It's so much easier to have a reference for each string instead of just the low e string, especially for setting intonation. A lot of people make the mistake of getting the low e and then tuning up to that and trying to intonate accordingly, but it will be slightly off if you don't have each string tuned up to the exact e flat pitch.

[DARKBLOOZ]

@DARKBLOOZ

sorry, i mispoke, I meant to say that it makes intonating your guitar easier if you can tune each string to the proper pitch in the key of e flat.

[ramiabuhamra1]

so if i want to tune using a tuner i just put A=440 Hz thats standard and i start tuning and if i want to tune to Eb i just put A=311 Hz and i start tuning is that it?

[2Px2100O]

OK i'm lost is Ab the same as G# And so on sorry never tuned in flats befor i am all ways in drop c or D modal tuning

[erklax22]

0:06 0:23 0:40 0:56 1:12 1:29

[nikolas99t]

at how many herz is the eb tuning?

[GuitarSource]

@nikolas99t Standard is A 440, the Ab would be 415, the Eb itself is 311 approximately

[mac0tt1]

@GuitarSource damn : / only got 435-445 Hz in my tuner

[Dionysosism]

@nikolas99t and if your tuner doesn't go low enough, just tune A=440 D# G# C# F# A# d# and you're a 1/2 step down.

[Dionysosism]

@nikolas99t and if your tuner doesn't go low enough, just tune A=440 D# G# C# F# A# d# and you're a 1/2 step down.

[GypDylo]

Useful! thanks alot!

[nutinurmacaroni]

This is like the only eb tuning video that doesn't use distortion jesus christ. Thank you.

[Satch21Freak]

i have a ibanes js1000 and tuning down a half step really makes the sound come alive

[listyspisty]

can i ask about this tuning? I have played for a few years, but what does this tuning give to the sound as oppose to regular tuning? thank you very much though!!

[GuitarSource]

flat tuning can serve different purposes and i won't pretend to know why everyone uses it. if you want to learn Hendrix, Slash, or SRV material, you have to use this tuning because much/most of their songs use it. I assumed their reasons were twofold. First, the lower tuning was more accomodating to their vocal range. Second, the lower tune also means looser strings which are easier to bend. Those are my assumptions, I have other ideas, but some people simply prefer the lower tones.

[listyspisty]

@GuitarSource thank you very much, just wondered, i think your right to be honest. again a million thank yous for the video!

[Bassist10288]

@GuitarSource I also think that by dropping it, you get an extra range of half a note. Not to mention it's like playing the black keys on a piano, sharps and flats

[13zmag13]

@GuitarSource it also gives your sound a little more thicker edge than it would be from a standard e tuning, more likely your chords would sound a little thicker

[Satch21Freak]

give the strings a litttle more tone! and makes it easier to solo, the strings arent as tight so it allows for easier bends

[DarthKazi]

@listyspisty Eddie Van Halen believes that the guitar is fundamentally wrong to tune to "440 A" and based on his impeccable ear and piano training he's stated that harmonics jump out better a 25.5 scale guitar has better intonation... in the sense that you can barre chords down the neck and they are still in tune, as opposed to the typical 440 A tuning.

Besides the guitar has a darker sound.

[mofogachoga]

@listyspisty In my own opinion.. Eb tuning makes the sustain last longer, notes and bends are easier to handle, and it gives better handling of playability.

[DarthKazi]

@mofogachoga This is especially true on a 25.5 scale or longer guitar where there is more tension. It also gives the guitar a more "dark" tone with the same chords played.

[caseyforever]

@listyspisty

i started using it because oddly enough, the main chords on guitar fit my voice better when tuned down that little bit. i also like the strings being slacker and easier to bend and like looser sounding E string. it's a small difference that seems to appeal to a lot of musicians.

[mrghostnzl]

@listyspisty Hey man. Makes the music sound sadder. commonly used in blues playing like the metallica load cd. Try jamming along to outlaw torn etc its easy. I just use bar chords in eb

[jackillmandril]

thx! and the background looks very cool...lol :P
