Standard tuning  

When a lesson says my guitar is tuned to a Standard tuning, usually you can just use your tuner and tune to 440 and be done with it.  But, for quick reference this mp3 should be of some help to you.

Usually tracks that I use the White Kramer on are noted as a Flat tuning.  This is true to some extent, however it should be noted that I don't normally use tuners unless I have to, such as when I'm jamming with a keyboard player or something.  I generally tune the White Kramer to what "I think" sounds good.

A lot of other people think the White Kramer has a great sound to it.  I'm here to tell you that the sound is in no small part due to the tuning.  It's not quite flat, not quite standard.  It's fairly similar to the in between tuning that VH used for most the tracks on Diver Down.  I didn't set the White Kramer up with a tuner, I simply dialed in the low E string where I thought it sounded good, and kept it there.

Its never been an issue for us to tune a bass to it quickly, or for other guitarists to dial in the tuning.  If you're flat 1/2 step exactly, you'll be close enough to the tuning of the White Kramer, but for those who like to be exact, this mp3 file should help you out.

This is a true 1/2 step flat tuning.  This tuning is used on the White and Green Kramer's that I work with, and is used on any and all newer lessons on the Vin Heuton and Beyond VH pages.  i.e. lessons after Vh'izing part 7. 

This true 1/2 step tuning is handy for those with chromatic tuners that want to make things easier.

I still prefer the Semi-Flat tuning sound that I normally use with the White Kramer, however I realize that for ease of learning and tuning here on the site, a true half step tuning is easier for most of you to get your head around.  I still suggest if you're in a band of your own that you tune to what you think sounds good.  There are lots of tunings out there, just go ahead and find one that works best for you.
