I have an extra guitar and after playing a baratone guitar, I droped the tuning down one whole step on my guitar.
The results have been a blast!
I love to sing John Denver's songs, but many of them are in a key that is too high for me.
Many of these songs just don't sound very good when put into a different key arrangement.
By lowering the guitar a step, these songs are now a lot easier for me to sing and I can still use the correct chords, so the songs sound right.
I do have a very slight buzzing with the lower tention but if I decide to keep the guitar tuned lower, I will get a taller saddle.
I'm using medium PB strings with this guitar.
It's a Recording King RD-227 Rosewood Dred with a spruce top.
The guitar sounds very different but I like it.
It rumbles with a lot more bass than it had in standard tuning but hasn't lost any of the highs.
I like the tone on this guitar even more than the baratone guitar that I played before.
I know that a lot of 12 string guitar players do this but has anyone else ever tried this on a 6 string guitar?
