Kill you boredom by posting.

[Feanaro Surion]

That works for me!

[Beebop]

It sure does work for me too.

[Feanaro Surion]

What should we talk about?

[Beebop]

My guitar, and I am in desperate need of a tuner?

[Feanaro Surion]

That works for me! Want some tips for tuning it up?

[Beebop]

I can't tune it now, because everyone else is in bed and I would wake them up, but yeah, give me some tips.

[Feanaro Surion]

Ok, first, get the low E on the piano. Again, can't specify what octave. Now, the next string should be tuned to the fifth fret of the low E. In other words, they sound exactly the same. Next, The D string should match the 5th fret of the A string. The G string should go in the same manner. However, the B string, should match the 4th fret of the G, not the 5th. The High E is again the 5th fret.

[Beebop]

Thanks, good to know.

[Feanaro Surion]

You have to make sure it's very precise, though, and try to make sure the high E sounds like the low E.

[Beebop]

Yeah, I will do that. Did you know that Steve Vai has a 7 stringed Guitar?

[Feanaro Surion]

Well, I knew the existed, but not that Steve Vai has one.

[Beebop]

The bottom string is now a B.

[Feanaro Surion]

Figured as much. I'd like one of those for my metal, but I wouldn't mind too much if I couldn't.

[Beebop]

You would need 6 fingers to be able to play it effectively.

[Feanaro Surion]

Just for chords. Power chords would be a breeze. And riffs. Don't forget those.

[Beebop]

What are power chords?

[Feanaro Surion]

5th chords basically. In standard tuning, it's two frets above that of the string below it.

[Beebop]

They sound hard.

[Feanaro Surion]

It's pretty darn simple. Look them up. There's bound to be a diagram somewhere on the web.
