-- Posted by samzkuul at 5:39 pm on April 19, 2008 So there is a tab I really wanna play but the tuning it specifies is as follows: C# G# C# D# G# D# How would I go about tuning to that? -- Posted by Space Ace at 5:41 pm on April 19, 2008 get a tuner, the low e goes down to C# the A goes down a semitone, and follow with the rest of the strings. -- Posted by Niddan at 5:41 pm on April 19, 2008 using the machineheads -- Posted by myboringlife5 at 5:42 pm on April 19, 2008 put it low and it will sound perfectly -- Posted by mynameisdan at 4:34 pm on April 20, 2008 It's just drop D and down 1/2 step.  It'll sound fine in drop D though if you don't want to retune all your strings.  Easiest way to change standard to drop D is to tune the 7th fret of the 6th string to the open 5th string. (make sure to only change the 6th string when doing this).
