I have one question. When you are doing a drop-tuning, like say...C sharp, its 2 and a half steps down, is each step only one frets worth? because I have been told so many different things and finally clued in to come and ask you guys. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok thanks a lot guys. That really helps. So all you are saying is that to get to a C# with a standard tuning tuner, you would just place your finger on the third fret and tune it to an E? Almost like what I do with an E flat?? All I do for that is put my finger o the first fret and tune it to a standadrd E and I am in E flat. I know that much.

Haha yeah I have the heavy Strings covered. Got some 13-56's. They are about right for me in that low of a tuning. Then again, I have been in Drop "A" with 10-50's. It wasnt too bad though. Gotta love those GHS Boomers.

Yeah when you srat dropping it that low, and then throwing in the good old Drop-D setup, it starts getting ridiculous. Sounds good and really heavy, but you might as well go to an A tuning.
