tuning 1/2 step down

[Appalachian Blues]

I tuned the GAD-JF30-12 down a half-step, did some Byrds tunes and the sound of this Guild is licorice. Cherry flavor :mrgreen:
I'm going to keep it there.

I keep my JF30-12 tuned down, learned that from Scratch. Very easy to play that way.

I keep my 12 string tuned down a full step, to D. I enjoy the richer sound that I get there, and with a capo on the second fret, I'm in tune with the rest of the world....provided the rest of the world is in standard tuning, that is. :wink:

Cheers,
Joe

Ironically, one of my favourite 12 strings song, '39, is tuned 1/2 UP, to F...

I tune down 6 strings guitars to play old black sabbath songs like the sigh of the southern cross and fluff, and in these case I prefer to use a guitar with a built in tuners, although I noticed that the volume of the guitar decreases.
