a very noob tuning question

Nicolas

ok so the ''pitch'' on my tuner can vary from 435 to 446. . . and when i open it its always 440 as default. So i want to know how i can tune my guitar a ''whole step down'' and a ''half step down''. . .. is it 438 and 439 ? ?

yea im noob 😀

The pitch on your guitar tuner has nothing to do with tuning your guitar down. Leave pitch at 440, if your guitar is tuned EADGBE, half step down =D#G#C#F#A#D#, whole step down =DGCFAD. Does your tuner go up in half steps? (sharps and flats). Some of the cheaper ones only do the standard tuning.

If you wanna tune down a full step down fret your E string on the second fret and tune it to E and then do the normal tuning thing with the 5 note and the open.

For a half step down do the same but fret at the first for the E note.
