I kinda figured you guys were talking about just lowering the Low E string. I think I have an app or two that can simulate this by allowing me to tune one note differently ( in this case the low E ), but I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble, because most of my better emulations use the notes below for effects such as string plucks, slides and fret noises.

I think for me it's probably easier in the long run to actually play the D note below it if the particular patch allows me to go below E3. I am gonna mess with my Acoustic ( an older Yamaha ) to see how this is on a real guitar. I'm not a very prolific guitar player to begin with, so this likely won't make me sound any better ( lol ), but it might be a cool thing to try.

I don't know how Joni does it ( talent maybe ? lol ). Man I'd be a mess if I tried that. I lowered all the tunings on my Ibanez a half step mainly because a few of the "darker" songs I like to play sound a bit too cheery to me if they aren't played in the original key.
