@@partymartyeasyguitartunes1711 No. you DID! I had to go through a stupid two step method including both my phone tuner app. AAAND my tuner… some shit so complicated that it would take a while to explain! You Marty. Yes, you, are the reason I got a capo! Lol Take care. 9/11
I agree my friend. Thanx for your kind words. hey, I am trying to reach 100k subscribers so tell your friends about me, it would be greatly appreciated, thanx for tuning in, good luck to you and take care
God bless you sir! I’m a beginner, I watched like seven different videos tonight just to get my guitar in E flat. You’re the first one that made it easy for me, thank you so much!🙏🏻🎸🤘🏻🔥
Wow, thanks. You have most certainly made this plain and simple. I've had a very tough time with the half step down tuning. I've always tried my hardest at mastering the guitar. I had other people do it for me. No one actually explained it to me. Thanks for taking time to demonstrate all this. I'm so happy. Sometimes, things are so easy, (ridiculously easy,) It's complicated. Or, at least I've managed to make things difficult for my self. You have summed it up. I will never forget this. Thanks Party Marty. Alot of metal songs I grew up with, such as Ozzy, Kiss, Zeppelin just to name a few. Are tuned a half step down. This is what I needed. Blown away by all this. It really means a lot to me. I have found that if your guitar is tuned properly. You have a wider chance of finding the chords to any song. All you have shown me, makes prefect sense to me. And I will make sure I subscribe to your video. Will you do more videos on different tuning. Such as a whole step down and tuning to a flat D ? Ect, ect.
Thank you soooo much for all your kind words. I am really happy to help you in any way I can. I will keep your suggestion on the list for a future project down the road. Thanx for tunin gin and take care to you and yours my friend
That's a aesy way to do it. But be aware. I think it has a disadvantage because a capo can pull a guitar out of tune. Especially due to the lower string tension. So in that case the open chords (after removing the capo) can be out of tune. That's why i tune the guitar without a capo. But when using a capo i retune the guitar. Or tune the guitar with the capo as suggested and after removing the capo do a fine tuning.
This is the tuning that I was taught, in the one guitar class I ever took, but I was also taught to tune by ear, as well as finger-strum/pick. The one time that I brought a pick to class, my teacher snatched it away from me, then chucked it out the front door! 😆
Fun fact this can also be a good way to get used to switching to a 12 string cause if your fingers hurt when playing it, you can just tune it down a half step to give your fingers some relief.
YOOOOO thank you !!!!! Im currently trying to learn this song for this girl I really care about and it required this!! You just made me one step closer 🙏🏽 Hope all is well for you
Wow 😍🤘👏👏👏👏👏 Awesome trick Sir.... That was Informative... Been searching for a way to tune open D5 to half a step down.... And finally got this.. thank you again.

Since everybody is commenting what their learning than ill say ive been learning guitar for over a year and was learning a song called "voice of no return" from nier automata and it just couldnt sound right no matter right. Usually most songs dont sound exactly the same but i can at least hear it a little but this time it just was un hearable. This dude just taught me a life hack honestly
I've been avoiding playing multiple songs cause 1/2 step down seemed to be too much of a production. BUT your capo method simplifies the process. Thanks 🤙
That was a nice tip just did it. Makes total sense too. I used the Fender Phone App tuner for anybody that does not know about it...all my others that used to run out of batteries...on a shelf or box somewhere.
wow thanks easy!! I can sing with this tuning without straining. love "no expectations" by the stones but couldn't manage it until now. thank you again!
You beautiful man!! All these videos that I looked at before were saying that I needed to be tuned down for this song I wanted to learn, but they never explained how. thank you for this video!!!
Chrxsmartxn After you turn up stretch your GUITAR’s strings and hold it for 20 seconds let it go hold it for 20 seconds again! and then retune it it should be a long time before your strings break...
You are very welcome, good luck with it. Hey, I'm trying to reach 100k subscribers so please spread the word about my channel, it would be greatly appreciated
Lol!! It's a neat little trick for sure. Hey I am trying reach 100k subscribers, please pass the word along about my channel to your buds, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanx for tuning in, Take care and Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Cool video Marty! On a quick side note, Buck Owens, Don Rich and the Buckaroos were also tuned down a half step. Their steel guitar player, Tom Brumley, did NOT tune down so he played everything a half step flat. Hence, the unique Bakersfield sound. Some folks wanting to play along with Don, Buck, and the gang might find this useful.
Kippster81 Thanx for the info, that's interesting. It's great to find out neat little things like this that these gifted musicians did in those days, that ended up being thier sound for so many years. And there are many that copy that sound to this day in the Bluegrass world. Thanx for tuning in.
That;s great, I am happy I could help. hey, I am trying to reach 100k subscribers so tell your friends about me, it would be greatly appreciated, thanx for tuning in, good luck to you and take care
Thats pretty cool. Easy and works good. Only think I can think of is one other thing, harmonica, tuning tool, youtube note just to check if one is right. Some capo pull the strings a bit, can be in tune then with capo off out on one string or another. This looks like the way I will do it though as long as I have a capo.
IT is meant to be a quick trick to tune in a pinch if you are playing live on stage and is very effective, if one is out, you can quickly catch it and tune it manually after practicing this technique. Good luck with it
Awesome! I’m trying to learn the song poison by Alice Cooper and it said to tune down a half step. I’m a newbie learning guitar, so I looked it up and saw your video. You explained it plain and simple, ThankYou!

Lmao yeah. not even a minute after taking my capo off my high e snapped
It's good for a beginner. Especially if they have a regular guitar tuner and not a chromatic tuner .
That is why I removed the capo, put it back and tune again just to be sure it's not out of tune🥰
its insane how helpful but simple it is, thank you bro!
It's a simple but effective tool for sure. I'm glad you like it, thanx take care
+PartyMarty EasyGuitarTunes Hey, just one question... for how many years have you been playing Guitar?
POV it’s 1:30 in the morning and you have to play at your cousins wedding with your band tomorrow and you have to tune down half a step.
Ok, this is probably the most genius way to tune a guitar half a step down, this is exactly what I was looking for.
I’m doing this for nirvana, all apologies
i’m doing heart shaped box
Thank you so much Ive been playing for a year and I'm gonna try this as it's new too me-starting my lessons again!!!

Play as much as you can, don't get discouraged, keep going!! Good luck!!!

My guitar string broke trying to do this:(
That shouldn't have happened, try again, tuning slowly. Good luck
Chrxsmartxn hope you had extra strings. Now you're only regular tuning with a capo. How'd you manage that cowboy?
It should not have broke if u was doing it correctly

Tuning down a half step has the advantage of more range . You can play a half step down or slap the capo on first fret and be in standard tuning .
