Raised B Tuning

[L.]

Hey mensen,

Loop tegen een probleempje aan, wil namelijk graag een nummer in de raised b tuning gaan leren spelen maar ik lijk de tuning maar niet goed te krijgen.

Ik zal even uitleggen hoe ik naar drop D tuning ga, hopelijk kunnen jullie mij dan in hetzelfde taaltje uitleggen hoe ik de raised b tuning voor elkaar kan krijgen. Ik pak mijn stembox en druk twee keer op het knopje flat (nadat ik hem aangezet heb :p), dan draai ik mijn lage e-snaar iets lager en wacht ik tot mijn stemboxje een zuivere e aangeeft, en dan heb ik dus de e snaar gedropt naar D, hoe moet ik de raised B voor elkaar krijgen ?

Ik raak wat in de war van de begrippen raised, drop in combinatie met de term flat op mijn stembox, je hebt toch ook sharp ?
Zoals jullie waarschijnlijk wel merken weet ik nog zeer weinig van muziektheorie...

Alvast bedankt voor de hulp,

L.

You cannot re-tune your guitar to Raised B. This is because a
Raised B guitar has completly different string gauges in the
normal positions.

HOWEVER, you can re-string your guitar to be a Raised B guitar.
This is not bad for your guitar as the string tensions are
ligher than normal, but not too light. Here are instructions for how
to re-string your guitar to be in Raised B tuning.

NOTE: PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO PLAY A SONGS
IN STANDARD TUNING. THIS RAISES THE PITCH OF YOUR GUITAR. IT IS
ONLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU HAVE A 2ND GUITAR TO WORK WITH.

The first thing you need to do is go out and buy
a set of Extra Light strings. I personally chose Elixir's because
I know the guagues are about correct, but you can go with
any string type you like. WHILE YOU ARE THERE, PICK UP AN
EXTRA B-STRING FROM A SET OF LIGHT STRINGS. The gauge for that
string must be .016.

When you get back, the first thing you should do is take
the low E string from the extra light set of string and
throw it away. This is not needed at all.

Next, start with the A string from the extra light set and
string it in the low E position. Then you take the D string
and string it in the A position. Basically what you are doing
here is taking the each string and moving it 1 position up on
the guitar.

This should leave the High E string position w/o anything there. Now
comes in that extra B string you bought. You take that extra string
and string it into the High E position It will be a little
wierd to play because the highest position string will have a lower
pitch than the one above it, but that's how Dave strings his guitar.

Now all you need to do is make sure each of the strings
is tuned to the right note. Dave Matthews Raised B guitar is
tuned to the following notes:
B:----------
F#:----------
D:----------
A:----------
E:----------
B:----------

There ya go, now you can play Stay or Leave and You never Know!!! Enjoy.

NOTE: YOU WILL NEED A TUNER IN ORDER TO GET THE RIGHT
PITCH AS YOU CANNOT USE OTHER STRINGS AS REFERENCE.
