[Gm] [C#m] What are you tuning right now?
And why do you have a cheat sheet?
Because I can't remember what each string is tuned to because they're all different.
Right now I'm tuning to a song that I wrote [F#m] about a cemetery actually.
It's kind of one of those songs I wrote in a day, which doesn't really happen.
I had the idea in my head and the only way I could get across it was to get this tuning.
I can't remember my tuning so I write them down.
[C#m] It's C sharp, G sharp, D sharp, E, A, and then D sharp.
So it kind of makes no sense, but it [G#] suits this song anyway.
What's cool about playing it on this guitar [D] is that the D string goes up a half step,
and then I tune this all the way down, way lower.
Usually when you do that on another guitar, the balance goes everywhere and the intonation is really weird.
It just goes out of tune constantly.
With this, [F#m] you tune it once and it just sits the entire time.
You can put it in the case and then take it back out.
Two days later it'll still be in the exact same [D] tuning.
[D#] I also fly a lot too, and I find when I put [B] guitars in the bay and I pull them out,
they'll still be in tune, which is like,
[C#m] that's still [D#] impossible.
I don't think they were trying to do that, but they did.
[C#m]
So we'll try this tuning.

[G#m] [G] [E]
[A#] [E]
[G#] [D#] [G#]
So what's cool about this guitar and tunings, I play in a bunch of different tunings.
[F#m] On other guitars, the tension for this tuning in particular,
one string's really, really high and the rest are really, really low,
[A] and that tends to cause intonation problems and tuning problems and it falls out of tune.
But with this [F#m] guitar, you tune it [F#] once and it'll just stay like that.
That's really important to me playing live because I'm always constantly changing tunings.
I like using this tuning just because [C#m] you can go like that and it just sounds like it's already a cool song.
It's kind [F#m] of [G#m] cheating, but [D#m] it sounds nice.
[C#m] And the harmonics will go forever.
[Fm] This I can just do the first time and it just sits perfectly,
and I've never been able to do that with another [F#m] guitar.
