Do you have a tuner? If you dont have a tuner, and are just playing for the fun of it, it doesnt make a differance at all. Its just tuned half a step lower, is all. Everything is still played the exact same way |

All you have to do is tune each string down a half step.
First, ill tell you what a step is. in music one step is the same term as 1 whole tone.
A half-step is also called a semi-tone.
To give you an idea, 1 tone (or 1 step) is 2 frets away on guitar. so if you play the low E string open (just pick the string - dont fret any notes). well, you played the note "E".
1 step up from that (or 1 tone) is 2 steps higher which would be the same string, but the 2nd fret. 1 step up again from that would be the 4th fret.
A half-step is 1 fret away. so if you play the low E string again (no fret, just pick the string) you get the note "E". if want to go a half step higher then fret the 1st fret - now you have an "F" note. a half-step up from that is the 2nd fret "F#" note.
So basically you want to tune your strings down a half step each (called Eb or E flat tuning).
First, tune your low E string (the top "fat" string) down just a little, so it has the same pitch as the 6th fret on your A string (the closest string to the "fat" E you just tuned).
From there, tune all your other strings down a half-step to your E string that you just tuned down. tune them with your E string (which is now Eb since you tuned it down a half step) the way you normally tune them when you have your E string in tune.
I hope that makes sense, if not let me know. you can get a tuner for your guitar that shows you the notes, that would be easier. there are even some digital ones on the web.
Also, when tuning down, you need to first let the string tune down lower than the pitch you want, that way you "tune up" to it, instead of just tuning the string down and stopping on the note. what this does is takes the slack out of the string, if you dont do it then the strings will be trying to "stretch" themselves back up while you are playing - since when you had it tuned in standard tuning (EADGBE) they were strecthed to those tones. |

All you have to do is put the capo on the first fret. . Then tune the guitar normally. . . Then take the capo off. . . And POW you are tuned down a half a setp |

There is no possible way that chilly willy's method will break the e-string, and it is the correct way to tune down a guitar a half step without a tuner. Try fully reading a post before you reply, because it only makes you look stupid |

What a bunch of jerks!!! Chilly willy is 100% right!!
That's the BEST way of getting it done, if you pretend to be a a real musician. . . By ear.
The strings wont break dumb ass if you do it the way chilly willy said |

Chilly willy IS correct.
Cannot believe the person that posted here with all the name calling. I'd hate to hear him/her playing any instrument! That individual probably couldn't tune a guitar with a digital tuner! |

Shouldn't chilly willy have written that the E string should be tuned to the open A string with your finger on the 6th fret of the E string not the A string? |
