Eighteen Visions - I let go
From the album "Obsession"
Dropped B Tuning [B - F# - B - E - G# - C#]
[low ----------------high]
If you're not sure how to achieve dropped B tuning:
Start with standard (EADGBe) tuning
- Find the 10th fret on the low E string
- Play the 10th fret & string above it (open). Tune the low E string untill
the 10th fret is the same note as the open string above it. The E
is now a B, when the string is played open
- Now move to the 7th fret on the now low B string, and play it. play the
string above it
open and tune until it is the same note as the 7th fret on the B string
- From here, tune the next four strings as you would with standard tuning
(i.e. 5th fret, open string above etc)
