How to tune a guitar to Open E Tuning

[cyclone1014]

i broke my A string trying to tune to this

[epicslasher99]

Is the E string that was D before below the A string should sound like the higher E?

[johntuggle]

@epicslasher99 Same note, but different octave.

[epicslasher99]

@johntuggle ok I got it, so the higher E ryt?

[PatriotJones84]

Isn't this the same as D A D F# A D except a whole step up?

[johntuggle]

@PatriotJones84 It is.

I tried this and my g string broke :(

[AussieRedCall14]

@iamthecodofhalo1 i hope your not a guy. running around with a broken g string

[SanAntonio501]

SWEET!

[daveasc]

Thanks for taking the time to post a lesson. Not sure why you'd raise the action when tuning up. That may be the case when tuning down to open G [Es to Ds and A to G]

[dexydonovanroger]

@daveasc for the slider.....

[Maafa1619]

@daveasc So the slide doesn't rattle on the frets, of course

I not only raised my bridge, I'm going to shim the nut before all is said and done.

[Maafa1619]

@Maafa1619 I've changed my mind. raising the tune-o-matic a bit and using thicker gauge strings (which probably impart a bit more neck relief without touching the truss rod) did the trick. Since I want to be able to fret notes with my fingers too, I'm not shimming the nut. That would put the action in square-neck Dobro territory.

[GlenMccafferty]

you didn't even tell us how to do the 3rd biggest string! you just turned it, you're a fucking asshole.

[emilowich]

@GlenMccafferty Relax dude.. Google is your friend.

[RepGnar]

[markstief]

[Absonata]

more e-tuning vids please! and Thanks for great tutoring. Its definitly nice with tutors that dont show of a la bonamassa.

[HavocBillz]

Strings are funny because they really pop when you try to tune them

[L07EK]

@ericpage903 then your definitely doing it wrong..

[randomvideos1234x]

My Dream guitar is a...

Sunburst Les Paul 1969 Reissue Vintage

[randomvideos1234x]

Man! thats a nice SG!!!!!!!!!!!

[dixiemafiaband]

man- you athens guys!!

[bleedson]

Thanks man. Now I have the tuning for She Talks to Angels.

[XxCHModzzxX]

@bleedson that's the same reason I was going to do it. I want to do it with my tuner though. >:[ Dunno if I can.

[jk642795]

@XxCHModzzxX same LOL

[seinfeld41]

telling people to mess with there action could be a bad idea...there's probably some beginner guitar players watching this and messing with there action and messing up there guitar...but maybe not idk haha...good lesson though

[Jenovaslegacy]

I've been playing open E for about 2 years now, kinda feels like cheating, but its a great way to play blues and metal stuff.

[Absonata]

Thats my idea also. I just recently started with it but i think it has a heave feel and i can play melodies and riffs at the same time.. But when i cheked it out on youtube people always play bossa nova or boring picking tunes on the open-e so i feelt that mabey i was wasting my time. Im glad to have read your inlay.

[ACEJAXTER1]

thanks man, that was a big help.

P.S. nice guitar

[Neosh88]

thanks! You helped me a lot:)

[bluespower]

warping means the neck can bend if using heavy gauge strings. if you fret a string at the top fret and look down the neck, the string should be paralell to the the fret board ,in some cases there is a a slight bow in the middle of the neck which is ok,keep on slidin'

[geno0527]

good lesson

[bluespower]

great tuning, use it all the time for lead slide! caution is required because of the extra tension as you could warp the neck if using heavy strings(i use 60 to 16 on my les paul!)but had the truss rod adjusted to compensate. keep on slidin'

[convictTKM]

pardon my ignorance....still fairly new to guitar and now want to try playin some blues. Wat is meant by warping the neck with the tension? need to find out as i'm using a friends fender strat and if i fuck the thing up i'm not really in the position to pay for it.. lol
