  • oh my fn god thank you for the simple description I've looked for how to do this everywhere but no one every just says tune down two whole steps and the rest one whole step

  • really don't get it. .nonsense

  • @blanchj11 see the thing is, he's not even using an amp... but I agree...

  • @bfmv2298 Lol alright then mate fair enough dude, but in all honesty, i hadn't really long started playing the guitar when i first commented on this 7 months ago lol i've learnt a good few things since then haha :L but yeah i get everything your saying dude :) oh wells what's it matter ay :) Actually dude... any chance you could help me with something? I wanna start making video's for my covers, what recording stuff would you recommend me using because my mic and webcam is absolute Shite haha :)

  • @JackBower09 You dont need to hear his amp... Your not trying to match his pitch er whatever you call it. He is trying to show you how to make your tunings match up, so his amp has nothing to do with it.. We all know what 12th string harmonic is, and if you don't well.. You need a few lessons. Then just lower the 12th string harmonic noise until it matches pitch (don't know what to call it, but its when the sound goes from being all wavy sounding, to the flat line sound) with whichever fret said

  • @CoOlBaNaNeR I have the same problem as you!!! I wanna play some BFMV on my guitar but I can't because of my tuning!

  • lol i have no idea what your talking about i suck at guitar

  • don't you need heavier gauged strings?

  • Are there any easier points rather than accros the neck every time..

    I wanna play some Bfmc but the tuning is stoppin mee... :((

  • I'm trying to learn to play Down with the Sickness by Disturbed but I can't really tell what your trying to tell me... Turn your amp up
