Over 95% of all guitar music is in standard tuning or a dropped down version of it. Some guitar players tune all the strings down one half step. Always tune up. This means that you increase the tension of the string until it reaches the desired tone. If you go too far loosen the string tension and tune up again. This is much more accurate than tuning down and increases the chances of the string staying in tune. | |||
