You have the tuning exactly right! I play this song and love it. I'd be lying if I didn't admit I popped a few G strings tuning my guitar to this but it is perfect!
I see a lot of people saying this is not the correct tuning for 'Name,' and I don't know anything about that - but if you're curious, this IS the correct tuning for several Owl City and Sky Sailing songs - namely Sunburn, Honey and the Bee, To the Sky, Hot Air Balloon, and the Sky Sailing song Explorers (as well as possibly some others - there are some that you can play in both this and DADAAD). And if you run into trouble breaking strings, try tuning it instead to CGDGGD. Same intervals, but the G doesn't have to go up at all (and that's usually the one I would break). Or, if you have the resources, just dedicate a guitar to this specific tuning. The problems normally came for me when I would switch between DAEAAE and EADGBE - the G just couldn't handle going back and forth like that.
I could've sworn Rzeznik himself said in a Guitar World article, back then when this song got popular, that he tuned the 2nd string to an E, so there's two high Es.
"D-A-E-A-E-E, is accomplished by replacing the B string with a high E string. In an interview with Guitar World Magazine, the singer and songwriter Johnny Rzeznik explained: "Both the top strings are high E strings." -Quoted from Wikipedia
did Rzeznik write this song?in fact. in CD this song seems DAEAAE.and the last part of the riff, sounds correct on 3rd and 4th string.not 4th 5th string.
Actually you got this tuning wrong for Name, it's D-A-E-A-E-E- Rzeznik said in Guitar World Magazine that he replaced the B string with a high E string.
Try using a capo on the 1st fret of your guitar and tune down to std. tuning and then mess around with other alt. tunings accordingly. Basically turn your 1st fret into the nut. Your strings may just last a little longer!
***** Just broke the G lol. Wow what a pain in the ass. Was ever so delicate too. Oh well. Guess who has lots of strings lol. On that note, any particular brand that makes bending & high tuning a lot easier?
I found this tuning while trying to tune to Kotaro oshio's song - brilliant road. I had no idea goo goo dolls used it! Even in there tab book, the tuning must have been published wrong or something cause it says its DAEAEE
Brass at a lower gauge will stretch and hold Far better then bronze But you guitar is made in a way that's usually Picky as hell and the more expensive usually Comes with more of a maintenence preference. So if your guitar came with a book for maintenence It's best to stick with it. You may not notice any different at first but the Longer you own it the harder it becomes to keep In tune. There are so so many things beginners need to know and they are completely ignored. Such as the proper way to string your guitar. Most players break strings cuz they are always tightening and loosening for different songs Or replacing a d string with a g and thinking it's Gonna work for a perma fix. Every little thing Matters more then you know. Lol if your a slob and your house is filthy Either keep the guitar covered or use higher gauges So your hand dirt and house dirt doesn't cake up so Bad on your strings. The list I swear is endless for regular maintenance. Even the place.you keep your guitar will matter In terms of humidity and your guitars paint finish coat. John resnick has a guitar tuned just for this song He won't be tune changing before playing in public So don't get upset for breaking strings and being blown away as to how the hell he does it lol Its not exactly fishing line and you get a test weight On the box. I personally love rhe goo goo dolls But good god the man keeps more guitars and different tunings then some people even know exists. But if your going to start learning more of Their songs it's best to buy a guitar specifically For them. I'm not sure what kind he uses I have honestly never gave a damn but even that matters when going down this path of goo goo dolls stuff. Anyways sorry for the book comment To those who read it lol I love playing and I have learned the hard way about this stuff and tho Iris a retarded beaver could play the goo goo dolls Is more advanced and if you know this stuff You are less likely give up. Lol I have given up And given in so so many times with these But they are very much worth the effort And I think you will find that in front of people You will enjoy playing these the most.
The tuning is actually DAEAEE and it's not a standard tuning. Rzeznik was just randomly tuning his guitar to different things and playing around and came up with the song in this tuning. You should use two high E strings for the two high Es. If you try to tune the B up to E it will probably snap the string.
@@jeanarancibia129 The video author used DAEAAE, and it sounds about right. I think that concert moment with a tuning paper taped to Johnny’s guitar was maybe accurate but relating to a different song in the setlist, not Name. As far as Name goes, I believe DAEAEE is the totally correct one, based on what I’ve read around and played myself, but that B to E is almost a guaranteed string break, so DAEAAE works good enough in the song’s note context.
@@saintjabroni yes,probably.in record,the sound is like DAEAAE.and true composer of this song give them different tabs.it is so difficult to play,and they play sloppy in live.that 4th and 5th string part of the riffs.terribly difficult.it is much more easier in 3rd and 4th.
@@komaichan99 I was responding to your original comment a day ago regarding how “[Probably] they didn’t write this song” Are you saying someone other than Goo Goo Dolls wrote the song Name?
Maybe one day they will be a new peddle out there that will allow you to set each individual string to a specific tuning without have to tune your hole guitar arnt you all tired of breaking strings
this is what happends when you change the tuning and write/preform a lengendary song- people fight over just how to TUNE the damn thing to play it. thankfully the guitar is a hackable instrument but still holy fuck

It is. You are correct about the bottom e's
That B is tuned up *2 and a half fucking steps* Oh my God lmao
edit: Rzez uses a little e in place of the little b. Makes sense.
Remember seeing that 1996 article... I had a whole stack of them ..ahh pre TH-cam
I’m sure you’re right but this works good enough and no strings need to explode.

Thanks so much. I'm so tired of looking for the correct tuning for this song. I'll give it a go over the weekend.

Well done...
Thanks!
I DID break a string...lol!
replace your acoustic guitar string set to electric guitar strings when you do a tuning like this..you're welcome✌️
I found this tuning while trying to tune to Kotaro oshio's song - brilliant road. I had no idea goo goo dolls used it! Even in there tab book, the tuning must have been published wrong or something cause it says its DAEAEE
it IS tuned to D-A-E-A-E-E
Very helpful. Thank you!
It sounds pretty spot on to me. What is that second string is off key or not
To reduce breaking a string you can tune that 2nd DOWN to an A.
my D string just popped before E. i wasnt even to g yet
It’s lit.
Can you teach tuning for iris goo goo dolls BDDDD??? Video how to tuned BDDDDD?

why is this comment written like song lyrics?

You know where I can find a chord chart for DAEAAE tuning?
Marcus Trebotich Not at the moment :( You should make one! It would be a great way to construct chords and make it stick in your head :)

NO its DAEAEE
I used to play it DADAAE and sounds good
I’m sure he wasn’t trolling anybody telling us to tune that B string all the way up to e 😂…
This isn’t right. It’s DAEDEE
I broke my 3rd string turning this you can also use a capo
Broke two new strings , tuned slowly still popped them
Tech said let them stretch a few weeks on standard first
When I saw them live as a kid, Johnny had the tuning taped to the side of his acoustic. It said DADADD. I tried it and its spot on.
Yeah but...

That's Black Balloon
Sometimes right before I change out my strings I'll try out some wackadoodle tuning and if my strings break..I dont care
some many bricks...so many bricks... but i did it!! gonna clean up now :D
thnx ,sir!
