What Hz Should My Tuner Be On For Drop C Tuning?
I Just got a new tuner, a Guitar Tech-Digital Chromatic Clip On Tuner, and i cant work it very good!
I have used it for standard tuning at 440Hz..which i believe is right??
So what Hz (hertz) Should it be on for Drop C Tuning?
Or Drop D?
Do i have to change the Hz for each string when i do alternative tuning?
Its for my electric westfield =]
Thank you all!
You are confusing 440 Hz, which is called concert pitch, with the notes of the scale. Here's the best advice I can give you, which I'm sure you'll ignore:
Forget about Drop C tuning for now and learn the basics of the guitar. Learn some music theory, learn what notes the strings are, and learn what makes up a scale. If you can, get lessons from a professional guitar teacher. When you are more advanced you can try Drop C again. Your favorite rock band will understand and forgive you for the delay.
Leave your tuner on A = 440 Hz and never worry about it again. While every note has a corresponding frequency, your tuner will help you tune to a specific note without regard to its frequency.
Here's how to tune to Drop C tuning:
Lower the pitch of strings 1 - 5 by one whole tone each. Lower the 6th string two whole tones.
If that didn't make sense to you, reread my advice and consider following it.
Good luck.
