Hopefully this is really a set of stupid questions and if it is I apologise – I’m new to all this so I have loads of questions…………….
A lot of the music I like involves alternative tunings – Tool and Karnivool are two examples.
With that in mind, what do I need to consider when I’m tuning my guitar down?
For example – do I need to change my string guage? Do I need to adjust the truss rod? Can I do it with any guitar? Does the guitar need to be 24 fretted neck or will 22 work just as well? Will I damage my guitar by changing tunings?
Any help or advice would be great
Thanks
