Tuning down half step

[Devilsrefugee]

Hi all

 

if I tuned down half step… where would a capo go if I wanted to get back to standard tuning? The first fret?

Yes.

Cheers guys I wasn’t sure if that meant it would be a full step as it’s one whole fret but thanks for confirming

Each fret is a half-tone higher, so, for the 'E' string...

 

E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E octave.
