Guitar Tuning problem?

Question

I need to tune my guitar down to DADAAD for a song I want to play. What is the easiest way of doing this please. Can it be done with a capo or do I actually need to retune my guitar. Thanks

Answer 1

Hi Midg

You cannot do that with a capo because the top and lower E are tunes 1 tone tone. When you want a higher tuning, than the capo comes in handy.

Aside from that, you wll have to retune which should not be a problem. There are only 4 strings that are out of tune.

Answer 2

I don't think it would be possible with a capo. I'd just re-tune it.  

Answer 3

A capo, or cheater, won't help in the drop tuning unless you tune first and then clamp for a higher pitch.
