Topic: Tuning
I want to know. My friend says folks often tune a half step under E, how many people do this. It feels so unnatural(prob. given that i always tune to E. While I know there many tunings, I'm curios to get input on this!

Re: Tuning
Well . . . you can tune your guitar down or up as you please . . . and tune the strings relative to each other.
if your are playing by yourself, it's no big deal . . . if you are playing with others, they will have to be tuned the same.
I think people can do this for a couple of reasons:
It will make the strings a little softer and easier to play
and it might suit their vocal range better.
I think if you tune down more than a half step . . . it will probably make your strings a little too loose and create some string buzz that would need to be corrected with truss rod adjustment or raising of the action.
