@@alanismaxx3328 Im gonna explain it to you. Basically the standard tuning EADGBE means that the strings when open strumming, makes those notes. 6th string is the E note,5th string is A note and so on. So tuning it to Eb or E flat means tuning it a fret lower since each fret on the guitar represents a half-note. For example,the F note on the 6th string would be on the 1st fret because an open 6th string is an E. Flat means Half but backwards. For example, F# is F but a half-note higher. So Fb is F but a half-note lower, which is also the same note as E. That's why you don't see people use Fb as much because they use E instead. The note has no difference just the name. Therefore tuning to Eb just means tuning EADGBE to Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
E flat is standard tuning gone flat. Hence Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb. The b symbol means flat. Obviously you need to know how flat to take it. But it's not as hard as people believe. As a beginner [only been playing guitar about 9 months] I use my tuner that came with my guitar and then tune to standard and then slowly lower the pitch down from it.
The key is to get it right, i.e. from 40 secs to 1:30 min. Mark . Once the 6th string is flattened , then proceed regular tuning procedure., hold down the 6th string in the 5th fret and tune the open 5th string to match the 6th and so on .... this guy and procedure works better than i’ve ever seen on the . Tube... to make it easier buy a snark clip on chromatic tuner about $10 to 15 bucks , u need one anyway ....
9.5 gauge strings tuned down 1/2 step are almost exactly the same tension as 9's in standard tuning. .I found this helpful so the setup process was next to nothing
If you tune down from E to Eb(D#) i would suggest going up in string gauge.. 10-46 in standard tuning E on a Fender scale 25.5" is pretty tight (Daddario 9.5-44 is easier to bend, i am not fund of 9-42 personally as I find them to soft).. Those 10-46 strings in E-flat tuning will be much sloopier and softer.. So going up to a daddario fusion set like 10.5-48 is recommended.. On a short scale les pal type guitar (24.75") that have less tension than a fender scale, I think 11-49 in E-flat tuning are really great and musical (Slash uses this a lot). Some might find the top strings a little to stiff on the 11-49 set on a 25.5 fender scale even wehn tuned down in e-flat. Depends on finger strenght and if you are a strummer of a big bender...:-)
Essentially, what he’s saying is tune your low E string to match the tune of the A string at the sixth fret and then from there use the fifth fret on the low E string after it’s lowered to tune the a string to that it’s called relative tuning. E on the 5th should sound like A A on the 5th should sound like D D on the 5th should sound like G So on and so forth
si no entendiste y tenés un afinador en el celular, solamente bajá las notas hasta -10. suena bien para mí if you don't get this way, and you have a tuner in your phone, just down the notes to -10. it sounds like e flat tuning, i think
Savannah What's not to get old blues guys tuned to their voice.. didn't have modernized tuning device.....it out worked out for them.Son House.., R Johnson et.al.
Just capo first fret close to fret tune in standard using tuner the remove capo your in E flat i play E flat on scoustic it sounds more richer tone to me .
Also do on 12 string (after too many g-strings (the second one on the low E either pop a peg out or break it from not seating over the hole on the tuning key side....someone told me it's actually another half step n tune to D below Eb is a traditional "12 STRING-TUNING"??? I'm happy half stepping it
i think you didn´t make it clear enough that you tune it down, some people seem to think they have to match the 5th and the 6th string and snap their e string as it seems in the comments..
Guitarists don't most often tune down a half step to better match the lead vocalist. They do it for two reasons. 1. To make vibrato and string bending possible when using heavier strings which have more sustain and volume plus stay in tune better and break less often than lighter gauge strings. 2. Some players believe guitars, especially strats and teles, have a richer sound with more body when tuned down a half step. Just like an acoustic dreadnaught capoed on the fourth fret rings much better and lays better in the mix for bluegrass music in the "high lonesome" key of B played in the G chord form. If you plan to implement drop tuning, have your guitar set up to accomodate it to prevent string rattling.
@@GuitarQueero1 This tuning works on all Guitars. The strings are a bit looser so playing gets easier, another fun fact is that it makes it easier to sing.
@@GuitarQueero1 Uh huh, it also works on 12 String Guitars too so that the High G String will last longer, & again it's easier to sing in a lower key. Here's an example of that:th-cam.com/video/enRa8twROqc/w-d-xo.html
I don't know what every chord is supposed to sound like.in E flat so I can't really do anything with your example since when you do it you don't provide enough time to even let it make a sound.
I also found as I think Paul Mc does ( see circle of fifths...all flats) well the piano (aside from most have everyone beat the white keys,, ONLY KNOWING CHOPSTICKS OR Do a Deer, hopefully not KNUCKLES) It's way easier playing the One Four Five Major Chords on the brown keys...and singing lower I find easier
This was very simple and easy to understand? Why are people saying it was hard? Do you all not have basic guitar fundamentals down like tuning? Y’all learn how to actually play basic guitar before tuning to E Flat lmao
Tbf this video is only useful if you already know this is what you're supposed to do, this will not help beginners. He's basically like well find the eb and tune to it
This is the most confusing video I've ever watched. Still dont know how to tune to e flat

I love Eb to play Slash's songs.Nice!
Fran Aravena Concha same
Same gonna play Sweet Child O Mine
Finally.. A manual steps on how to tune e flat without using a device.. Really frustrated from other videos that uses some tuning device..

And Green Day in there early days was in e flat
You could play their new songs in Eflat as well, heck, I like it better when I "Bang Bang" in e flat that in standard
Akiraj that is true! I like Hitching a ride a lot better in e flat
true
Yeah I think like the whole of dookie was eb tuning

E on the 5th should sound like A
A on the 5th should sound like D
D on the 5th should sound like G
So on and so forth
The fuck how the hell did u break a string tuning to a e flat ur tuning down
well i did to
si no entendiste y tenés un afinador en el celular, solamente bajá las notas hasta -10. suena bien para mí
if you don't get this way, and you have a tuner in your phone, just down the notes to -10. it sounds like e flat tuning, i think
What a great video! Clear and easy to follow. Thank you :)
The easiest way is to just put a capo on the first and then tune it normally
i cant quite put my finger on it... but there's something about this guy that bothers me
Could you put your finger on it yet?
EJM _ legen says he’s still thinking about
Tell us
I don't get it
savannah stewart don’t give up

Just capo first fret right next to fret close as you can then tune in standard tunning using a tuner and renove capo your in E flat tunning

Never tune with capo.
Just capo first fret close to fret tune in standard using tuner the remove capo your in E flat i play E flat on scoustic it sounds more richer tone to me .
Just put your capo on the first fret and use your turner as normal. Simple
Searched two days for a tutorial like this. Thanks
You know I can think of a bunch of people that tune to E flat slayer
Would love to learn this
The Edge from U2 was tuned to E flat quite a lot of the time.
Also do on 12 string (after too many g-strings (the second one on the low E either pop a peg out or break it from not seating over the hole on the tuning key side....someone told me it's actually another half step n tune to D below Eb is a traditional "12 STRING-TUNING"???

I put my capo on the first then just tune regular
That actually works?
@Hank And Leila bruh... the first.... the first fret.
that tunes it a half step down m8

Great explanysh thank you!!
Thanks so much!! I've been looking for a good tutorial on how to tune to Eb!!
I found this very helpful, thanks a lot!
@shelbyblacklab and + if he looks at a tuner, it means that he got like 20 tuners around him. becouse his not staring at one way.
i appreiciate it very much for showing me how to tune 1/2 step down i must have went threw 20 or 30 videos, and i couldnt get it.

Thank you now i have a snapped e string
It’s the Van Halen Local H tuning.

Smashing Pumpkins Mayonaise e flat
Hold and Eb on the low E string, then tune the A string to it. Then relative tune. Easier because it's the same note.
Which way to tune up is loose and turning down is tighter?
I don't know what every chord is supposed to sound like.in E flat so I can't really do anything with your example since when you do it you don't provide enough time to even let it make a sound.
This should be the standard tuning sounds heavier more melodic,easier to bend,easier for vocalists to reach the range,and many glam bands use it too!
I'm a beginner, so one step=2 frets right?
no
If I wanted to play an A minor pentatonic scale in Eb tuning would I just start a fret higher than I would in standard tuning?
Cameron yes
If you’re confused look it up on wiki how it actually makes sense

You can also use Eb Tuning to experiment with how E Standard Tuning Songs would sound down a half step.
This guy looks like Tom Morrello with hair
I dont get the first step..
Cool
thanks alot
My strings broke while tuning :/
What does 5th fret of the 6th string mean, like what is 6th string
