I dont like changing the tuning on my guitar to learn a song. Instead of me tuning down 1 whole step you should have a feature that allows me to transpose you up 1 full step. Tuning down is a pain in the butt and i usually dont bother with the song!

It can be tricky & annoying to have to retune! But the reason the songs are done that way is to get the closest authentic approach & sound that the artists use in actually creating, recording & performing the tune.

Which song are you referring to specifically?

I encourage students to turn challenges into opportunities. Sure, it's more work to retune, but you get to practice your skills & improve at it. You get to learn about different sounds & maybe why the artists made the choice to retune in order to create a specific unique sound. :)

Hope this helps!

invest in a decent tuner, something like the BOSS TU-3, it will make re-tuning your guitar much quicker and easier
