Tuning a Guitar into C G Eb Bb F C?

Question

How do I tune my guitar to C G Eb Bb F C? I dont have a chromatic tuner, whats an easy way?

Note: Keyboard tuning is difficult for me.

Answer 1

What do you USUALLY tune your guitar with? Most electronic guitar tuners should do that for you, no problem.

If you use pitch pipes when tuning to concert pitch, they will have a 'G' pitch pipe on them, so if you get your second string tuned to the correct pitch, hold down on the appropriate fret on the second string to tune the rest of the strings.

If you use a tuning fork, (mine's an 'A' pitch), tune the fifth (second fattest) string to 'A' as normal, then hold down that string at the appropriate fret to get the rest of the strings tuned to the correct pitch, then finally, tune the fifth string by holding down the sixth string at the ninth fret.

If you're a serious guitar student though, get yourself a decent electronic guitar tuner.

Can't understand why you want your guitar tuned four semitones below concert pitch. It might mean that you experience a bit of fret buzz, with the strings being slack.

Answer 2

If you can't keyboard tune then it's going to be impossible. If you just want the relative distance between the notes (you are not playing along with anything else) C-G is a 5th, G-Eb is a minor 6th, Eb-Bb is a 5th, Bb-F is a 5th, F to C is a 5th.
.. Or 7 frets, 8 frets, 7, 7, 7

That is a strange tuning. The high strings are going to be VERY tight.

Answer 3

People often write transposed chord charts for guitar songs using a capo so that guitarists can use shapes they've associated with certain chord names to quickly play a song. They see G on the chord chart and they think of a shape rather than G B D. God forbid they be expected to know that using that chord shape with a capo on the 3rd fret results in a Bb chord... no, that's too much heavy lifting for an idiot guitar player (yes, I am a guitarist, and I think most other guitar players are idiots) Anyways, all you need to do is transpose the chords to what they really are. Just change the letter of the chord by a minor 3rd (3 half-steps/semitones) and you'll be fine. G becomes Bb, D becomes F, Em becomes Gm, C becomes Ebm. Get it?

Answer 4

what was it tuned before e a d g b e? match the c from the a with the e and then work from that

Answer 5
