Members Chad Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 No, but you'd be one step closer to the Slash tone, brah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members deanmass Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 Perfect relative pitch is really what you want...I learned on a record player that was 1/2 step sharp, and it did mess up my relative pitch. I tend to tune by ear sharp to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nicholai Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 My wife has perfect pitch and tunes down to make singing easier. Seems to mess her up for the short term but the perfect pitch abilities come back. Ie the next day sing whatever note and she's on again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bubkus_jones Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 Tuning half-step down will definitely ruin your hearing. However, using a capo at the first fret to bring it back to standard is even worse. Ears have bled from that. Worst thing, though? Either of the above and lipstick pickups. That's head-exploding sound if there ever was one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gp2112 Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 Both of my guitars are tuned half-step down. I must admit that it did not help me nail the Slash toanz. What did it for me was a new switch on my Behringer iAxe Metalien 629 through my Fender Mustang in the Twin-Reverb (Green) setting with echo, delay and some distortion. Once I did that Slash was attainable in a mere fifteen minutes. You jelly? I bet you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
