Cool. Alot of guitar peeps here.

Anyone want to help me tune it? See i bought an electric tuner so it would be easy. Well apparently "low E" is a pretty high note, and B is pretty low.


Or maybe i'm deaf. :D

Tuning:
Standard: EADGBE
Dropped E: DADGBE

I forget open tuning and the others, but that's because I usually play standard and metal, so yeah.

i know which letters the notes are (well, the instructions on how to get started told me XD). Just not what they should sound like. I used the electric tuner to listen to the laptop - it picked the right notes. when it listens to my guitar (which sounds the same as the laptop to me) it says i'm way off.

BDGBEA apparently :S

Hey, if you want a song that tunes up your guitar (it has all the pitches) I can email it to you. It's from Guitarmaggeddon. It's very helpful. PM if you want me to send it to you.
