How do i tune my guitar so that its strings are in F Bb Eb Ab C C ?
Get a guitar tuner from your local store that sells instruments. Or if you have a key board or a piano you can tune it by hitting the key board note then tune the string to match. The center white key on a piano or key board is C , the next key to the right is D , Next is E and so on. The black keys are flats and majors depending on if you are going left or right on the white keys.
Reply:One thing you could do would be to tune it to a Keyboard, but ideally it would be best to buy yourself a Chromatic Guitar tuner...they sell for about $60 - $100.


Alternatively you can tune the guitar to itself...


Tune it to normal Concert pitch then put your finger on the the third fret on the "D" String and tune your Bottom "E" String to that sound... that will get it to "F"


Then you have a starting point...


Just find the notes you need along the bottom E string (WHich is now tuned to F) and tune in the other strings...





F, F#, G, G#, A, Bb, B, C, C#, D, Eb, E
Reply:tune your top E string down to a B (easy because it's the same as the 2nd string). Then put a capo on the first fret... this avoids overtightening the strings.
