Tuning A string to B?

fada

How do I do it and can I use a capo for it to work

Do you have a tuner? If so just pluck the A string, then just tune up alittle until the tuner says B. If not you should get one. You could also hold the low E string at the 7th fret, thats a B. Then just pluck it and pluck the A string and then tune the A string up until it sounds about the same (then at that point you could use a tuner to refine it to just the right tone. Hope thats not too complicated.

play the A string at the second fret to play the B note then hum that note while tuning up until you have the same pitch, thats what i do.

Just find a duplicate B somewhere else and match the pitch.
You can find a B on every string, and you know there's even an open B-string.

I have a tuner when I tune down I get a G . I then get at the A and E after that

Tune up, not down. You'll be tuning up the equivalent of two frets. The note should sound in octave unison with your B string, and your B light should come on anyway.

Yea, just pluck the string until the tuner says its B and make sure its lined up just right on the tuner so its not sharp or flat.
