Talk:Guitar/Alternate Tunings

Copy Museweb?
Maybe it's perfectly okay to copy Alternate Tuning Guide for Contemporary Folk Music and place it under the GFDL? Well, I'm gonna ask the author now... Akagu 17:49, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Nice to see other people starting to work on this book. :) I'd prefer not to let editing get out of hand because I'm still trying to stabilize the layout and structure of the book...but I don't mind, and of course I have no control over it even if I did. ;)

I wouldn't just copy a source here...I think something like that might belong more in Wikipedia, but I'm not sure. Parts of sources might be a different story.

Fb
I'm trying to find an Fb on my piano that I can tune to... Any ideas? (Idea: Fb=E)


 * You should be tuning to F#, not Fb, for Drop B tuning. Fb is the same a E and E# is the same as F, so if you're tuning to E(Fb), that's actually the 5th of a Drop A tuning(Nile is a good example of this.) So remember, tune to F#, not Fb, that'll set you back a full step on all strings. Now if you tune the 5th string to F and tune other strings to it to the 4th interval, you'll get C Standard tuning(Black Dahlia Murder uses this tuning.) Got any questions about tuning, holla back at skogenburzum@yahoo.com

Alright, I give up.
I've been trying fruitlessly to insert the table I fabricated into the article, but it seems to want to put the text where I direct it to place it, but shove the table way down below the external links. I'd be grateful if anyone can make the software understand that the two go together. Also, sorry for the inconvenience I've caused; don't kill me, I am only a noob. I'll post the table directly below this message. Thanks.

Tuning Dictionary
For your convenience, here are several tunings in a sortable table. For the sake of this table, the accidentals (sharps and flats) will be represented as sharps only.
