Guitar Tuner One Step Down (d, A, F, C, G, D)

Guitar Tuner One Step Down

Here is the online guitar tuner one step down. This is another interesting tuning, similar as "Half Step Down Tuning"; but more radical. This tuning is recommended for high-caliber strings (starting at 0.11 or more). The strings are tuned up in d, A, F, C, G, D from the first string (the thinnest one) to the sixth one (the thickest).

Many Metal and New Metal groups are using the one step down tuning, among the most popular guitarists as Kirk Hammet and James Hetfield of Metallica, that use it in some of their songs.

This tuning is one of my favorites because it really changes the guitars sound, becoming lower and tending to cover a greater part of the sonic spectrum. You're only loosing the 2 highest notes of the 1st string, mostly used in little parts.

If you lower the string tension, it supposes to be easier to execute bendings. But, at the same time, if you lower the tuning is also recommended to use thicker strings. This compensates the smaller tension with harder strings and the final effect could be minimized. It depends on your preferences.

If you want to achieve spectacular and extra large bendings, turn down one or more semitones the standard tuning and try first with the same string tension you are using (ideal with light gauges starting at .08 or .09 inches)
