You can designate an alternate tuning for certain instruments. If you select a supported instrument, you can choose one of the alternate tunings. This will change the strings to be tuned in the Twangy Knob Thingy as may also change chord diagrams if supported.
Boring Default Stuff
The default option for alternate is this which results in the standard tuning being used. AKA: we did nothin\u{2019} special. You\u{2019}re welcome.
Six-String Cry Machine
There are several tunings supported for guitar including:
- Standard is the standard E-A-D-G-B-E tuning. Y\u{2019}know, the one everyone learned first & then forgot about.
- Drop D lowers the low E to a D resulting in D-A-D-G-B-E. Perfect for when you wanna sound like a brooding metal dude.
- Drop DD lowers both E strings to D resulting in D-A-D-G-B-D. Double the D energy. ZOMG so heavy.
- Drop C lowers several strings to C-G-C-F-A-D to play chords in the key C. We get it, you\u{2019}re in a prog band now.
- Drop B results in a B-F#-B-E-G#-C# tuning. Your neighbors hate you already, might as well commit.
- Drop A results in a A-E-A-D-F#-B tuning. Basically you\u{2019}re just shreddin\u{2019} at this point.
- Open C results in a C-G-C-G-C-E tuning. Ooh, fancy. Look at you gettin\u{2019} all bluesy.
- Open D results in a D-A-D-F#-A-D tuning. Open tuning? More like \u201Copen season on weird sounds.\u201D
- Open G results in a D-G-D-G-B-D tuning. Keith Richards would be proud. Or confused. Probably both.
- Open E results in a E-B-E-G#-B-E tuning. The ultimate flex. Your fingers are gonna hate you.
