Raised B tuning

How do you tune your guitar to raised B?
eg: for drop d you would tune your low E one full step down and leave the rest untouched.
imo there should be an explanation of tuning on guitar sites - this one too - where it says how to actually tune your guitar to a particular style, instead of just saying 'tune to raised B'. no offence guys :wink:

I found this on another site: Hope it helps.

All u have to do is tune the strings to those notes. Like tune the e string to you b string, tune the A string to your high E string, tune your d string to the 3rd string 2nd fret then tune your g string to the 3 fret second string, then tune your b string to 2nd fret 1st string, then finally tune the bottom string to your top string which is already tuned to B.

Also try a capo on the 7th fret

Actually, you have to do quite a bit more than just retune. It's kind of takes some time to get your guitar into raised b and you have to completely restring your guitar. Follow this link:

Hope that helps.

in my opinion people should do searches to find answers to questions that have been answered a hundred times or just look on the FAQ where the answer is too

My brother is headed out for the summer so I'm taking care of his guitar for him. Well, since he left I raised b-ed his guitar and it's pretty cool. Not all too differnt from using a capo on 7, but some of the chords I couldn't do before are do-able and sound cool. If nothing else, it's fun to play along with the 3 songs I can think of (SOL, Oh, YNK) and it's fun to fool around with. Making up new chords and shit is kinda fun. But I sure wouldn't have done this if I hadn't had the spare guitar. Point being, if you don't have a spare guitar, don't bother becaues it isn't ALL THAT cool.
