Hey all i'm trying to learn even flow on guitar but im having trouble getting the right tuning. The tab I found told me to use a D,A,D,F#,A,D tuning but my tuner only has standard tuning notes on it (E.A.D.G.B.E)

Could any of you help me on getting this tuning? Thanks!

    I think that's Stone in open D in what you posted. I believe Mike is drop D.

    Are you asking what tuning or how to get to that tuning? If so it goes like this:

    E down full step to D
    A stays at A
    D stays at D
    G down half step to F#
    B down full step to A
    E down full step to D

    I love this tuning. Of course NAIS and Oceans are two of my favorites so it would make sense.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    Low E should be tuned to the 7th fret of the A
    G should be tuned to the 4th fret of the B
    Then, match the B to the A
    Tune the High E to the D

    Really? I thought Mike was in Drop D...(not a big difference from standard, I guess)

    Sorry 4 asking here - it's so off-topic, but are you a Jeff Hardy fan?? No need to deny if so - I'm one as well ;)
