  • so the E at the bass guitar must be one octave lower than the E at the normal guitar?i mean tuned in general one octave lower than guitar?

  • @Night94Wolf  Correct! :-)

  • 'Isolated Atoms.' The best band you've never heard of. Search them, listen & enjoy!

  • Very helpful.....this was just what I was looking for om here and just stumbled across it and was so happy! It was easy to follow and NO TALKING was great! Thanks!

  • @timdogthahustla you are most welcome! I use this myself all the time, it's soooo much quicker than the other vid's. 

  • Very helpful

    I don't know if it's just me though, but you sound SLIGHTLY flat. Like, as in so slightly you could probably barely touch the tuners and they would be in perfect tune.

  • @AlphabetSoupCircus My hearing is not acute enough to to pick it up, however it could be that the tuner I have is marginally incorrect? Or perhaps in the process of recording it to my PC then uploading to Youtube there has been a fraction of time distortion altering the pitch ever so slightly? Hopefully it's close enough for you to get away with!

  • @ATVxSn1pez Haha alright you're welcome

  • @skapunk881 never mind i found out in school today ;D thanks for the help anyway :)

  • @ATVxSn1pez Hmmm...that's weird. Maybe you should get another tuner and just tune it in standard. You can get one for really cheap online.

  • @skapunk881 it tells me to chose a key A# B C C# and so on.. -.-

  • @ATVxSn1pez Just tune it in standard tuning, which is EADG (thickest string to least thickest) Hope this helped!

  • @MarkSentMe Lol so did I

  • Dude, this is a sick song.. I'm gonna need tabs...

  • Thank you! Just got a bass for Christmas...had to tune it.

  • i have a "tuning help machine thing" and i dont know what key i should tune my bass in, can anyone help me??
