Things You'll Need:
- Digital tuner
-
Step 1
Re-tune the sixth string, the low E, down one whole step to D. Verify the pitch is correct by plucking the string and the D string, the fourth string.
-
Step 2
Alter the fifth string, the A, down one whole step to G. Make certain the pitch is correct by alternating plucking this string and the third string, the G.
-
Step 3
Change the tuning of the fourth string, the D, down one whole step to C. Check that the pitch is true by alternating between this string and by pressing down on the second string, the B, on the first fret.
-
Step 4
Modify the tuning of the third string, the G, by re-tuning down one whole step to F. This string's pitch can be double-checked by plucking the first string, the high E, while pressing down the string at the first fret.
-
Step 5
Adjust the tuning of the second string, the B, by dropping the pitch down one whole step to A. This can be checked for proper pitch by plucking this string and then doing the same on the first string, fifth fret.
-
Step 6
Finish the process by re-tuning the first string, the E, down one whole step to D. Check for proper pitch by plucking this string and the sixth string, which was re-tuned to D earlier.
