Skillet tabs in standard "E" tuning

skillet_playa · 03-12-2007, 03:06 PM

i have no clue how to drop-down tune in any other keys other than "D" is there any way to play any of the following songs in standard "E" tuning: Forsaken, Comatose, Rebirthing?

I don't think so, the highest tuning I've found Skillet to be in is drop C#. If I was sitting with you in person I could show you how to put a guitar in drop C, or drop C# (Drop C# is the tuning of Rebirthing) without a tuner. It's not that difficult. And I'm sure taking it from there to Drop B without a tuner couldn't be that hard. But, I don't know how to explain in online.

Or, other (much easier) option check out your local music store and pick up a guitar tuner. Some of them can be in the $30 range, but only if your getting like a cromatic tuning with a metronome and w/e else.

to tune in drop B (or drop C or C#) you tune it to drop D, then you tune all of the strings down more. If you have a tuner, the low E string would be B, and so on

i know how to drop D but when i get into the wierd tunings i get lost...... do you mean that when i hold down the 5th fret on the low E string when its drop B should sound like the normal tuning E?

Yeah.

your just tuning down to drop d and then after that tuning all the other strings down evenly. like this:

E -> D -> C# -> C
a -> a -> g# -> g
d -> d -> c# -> c
g -> g -> f# -> f
b -> b -> a# -> a
e -> e -> d# -> d

blah blah you get the point.

That b# and b is supposed to be a g# and a g

i always mess up like that somehow when trying to transcribe backwards.
