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!
