guitar!!!!!!?

Question

are the e,a,d, supposed to be so motherukin loose!?
the tuner says its rite on tune but it sounds gay
pleasee help

Answer 1

Sounds like you have them tuned an octave down. Get out your tuner and tighten the strings till it registers the right tone. They shouldn't be all floppy or what not.

Answer 2

They are supposed to be looser than the other 3 strings, but they aren't necessarily supposed to be 'motherukin loose'. The way you are tuning is probably wrong or something. You may be an octave down from what you are supposed to be.

Here's how to tune by ear: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/lessons/for_beginners/tuning_your_guitar_ii.html

Learn it, it will be your saviour!
As for your tuner, since you said 'IT says its rite on' I'm assuming it's one you put your output from your guitar into, not one where you hear the beep and tune to it. For that, I would suggest Google'ing an online guitar tuner, they should help.
Good Luck!

Answer 3

Yeah, like the others have said, sounds like you are an octave down. If by some strange chance you actually are up to correct pitch perhaps you have a very light gauge of strings. Try changing to some heavier ones.

Answer 4

Answer 5

If it sounds gay, then play some Wham or Culture Club.
