What is the lowest tuning you can use on a guitar?

Answer 1

Depends mostly on the strings. Various gauges reach various depths, but with normal Electric Guitar strings, I have reached Drop A, no problem. Many bands go lower, for example Slipknot did a couple of songs in Drop G I think, Cannibal Corpse are famous for A# Standard tuning. The lowest I've heard (and possibly the lowest currently possible) is E standard, an entire octave (12 half steps) down from Standard Tuning, used in Meshuggah's song "Spasm".I think with normal strings I wouldn't dare go beyong Drop G#, but with different guage strings, I believe 12 half steps down is the lowest in a recorded song. Hope I helped.

Answer 2

firstly let it be known that its a bass note, but tuned low E, if that's a tuning, I haven't heard of it, but if its a string its the 6th string, more commonly known as the Low E string, now you can't describe musical notes in text very well, so I would suggest getting a chromatic tuner to tune more efficiantly

Answer 3

For a 6 string guitar, from lowest to highest in pitch (thickest to thinnest), the tuning is E A D G B E.

For a 4 string Bass Guitar, from lowest to highest in pitch (thickest to thinnest), the tuning is E A D G.

There are many other tunings but these iare the most common and you will find them used in most songs.

Answer 4

With standard tuning the lowest note on a guitar is an E played on the first string. (The low E string.)

Answer 5

Standard tuning should be E A D G B E. When the second fret on the g string is played, it should sound at an A440.
