  • how can I tune my guitar from G to F#? my tuner only shows E A D G B E values??

  • @1malandrino1 Match your D string fourth fret when in standard, or buy a chromatic tuner.

  • Warren its about time I gave you a comment because your videos are just great to watch, love your voice and arrangements, and you cover exactly the kind of stuff i listen to eg. this, s.carey etc. thank you :)

  • @TFsean Thank Adrian, the guy who donated and requested this. I merely stepped up to the plate and took a swing.
