How do I tune to that from standard using a tuner? The f and c really .

feylya

Tune down 1 step on each string. That's standard tuning, a step down.

thesultan

How do I do that so again?

feylya

If you don't have a chromatic tuner (one that can tune to any note), as you tune the strings, fret them at the second fret and tune as normal.

thesultan

So Capo second fret and tune had the two tuned down and then tune up?

Gregor Samsa

Put a capo on the second fret, and tune all the strings as normal (Standard tuning - EADGBe). Then remove the capo, and you'll be in D standard (DGCFAd).

thanks

All guitars tune down whole step (D G C Bb A D

Looking for tuning for to play MAgic Bus

feylya

What is the issue you are having? Are the instructions you were given previously confusing?

thesultan

I was saying their isn't a Bb on the first one in comparison to the first

feylya

B flat? That's not a whole step down. That's some weird tuning, that's mostly a step down, with the G string being down 5 steps (or up 2). Are you sure that's the correct tuning?

Oh, I just googled what you're trying to do. First line of the tab is:

Guitar 1 is Capoed on the 3rd fret

You don't need to tune down at all.

thesultan

All guitars tune down whole step (D G C Bb A D)
Guitar 1: Acoustic, capo on 5
Guitar 2: Acoustic, capo on 5
Guitar 3: Electric

Note: Transcription chord names written in key of A, though resulting
tonality is G.
Note: All short versions (mono and stereo) are sped up.
Slow speed 4.5% for recording speed.
Note: All rhythm patterns are approximate, to give flavor of changes.

This is what I have

feylya

That's wrong. Simple as. Bb is not a step down from G.

If you keep your guitars in standard tuning, and put the capo on the 3rd fret, that'll be the same tuning.
