December 26, 200520 yr If you have a tuner you're basically set. I'm not sure how that one works but normally you play the string closest to your body (low E) and the tuner will show some indication of it being in pitch or not (like mine has a green light that blinks). Just repeat for the rest of the strings. Eventually if you try to always keep it in tune you'll start to be able to recognize if your guitar gets out of tune. oh- tightening the string (should be twisting the knob counterclockwise) makes the pitch higher. I think thats it.
December 26, 200520 yr The standard tuning is EADGBE. If your tuner isn't working then there's another way to do it. If you have the thick E string (the bassiest string) in-tune, or if you have a piano you can tune it like that. Then, you can tune the A string by fretting the E string on the 5th and trying to get it to sound the same as the open A string. Then, when that's in-tune, fret the A-string on the 5th, and try to get it to sound like the D. Fret the D-string on the 5th to get it to sound like the G. THEN, fret the G-string on the FOURTH, to get it to sound like the B-string. Then finally, fret the B-string on the fifth to get it to sound like the treble E string (treble being high-pitch). If you're doing Drop D tuning, fret the thick E-string on the 7th fret to get it to sound like the A string, and do the rest as normal. This is because in Drop D tuning is only two semi-tones lower than the regular tuning.
December 26, 200520 yr Drop c is CDCGBE i think, im not sure tho. Its used in lots of metal songs, SOAD use it lots.. In regard to your question, you should be fine with the tuner.

December 26, 200520 yr I'm pretty sure it's CGCFAD - Drop D tuning, then detune everything a whole step.

December 27, 200520 yr i was wondering does any1 hav any info regarding tuning electric guitars and/or links to helpful sites. thnx, ur help wuld b much appretiated! :?: btw i do hav a QWIK TUNE electric tuner. Lol, so do I. Just check for a little booklet inside the box. It tells you how to tune. I think its a great tuner. I've used it for as long as Ive been playing (1 year lol but I'm really good) (40 crafting, 40 range)
December 28, 200520 yr How much does this QWIK TUNE device cost? Up to 40 dollars I like my tuner, it's a Korg CA-30, with a little dial type tuning thingy with the lights that tell if the note is too flat or sharp I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.
