Guitar Tuning question

[Sevre]

You'd be better off getting a second guitar for other tunings

I can tell you're not a 14 year old boy with no job. Having a second guitar isn't as easy as it sounds on paper.

then what i said in my last post is your best bet .. you can get a decent distortion pedal from 20 to 80 pounds

just do some chores around the house for a few weeks

If he's going to be using a Capo, then he's probably not interested in a distortion pedal.
Also, your last post didn't make any sense.
At all.

you're a tool -_-

he wants to be able to quick switch from E to D .. using a capo for that isn't wise since you'll have to fine tune when you remove it

a distortion pedal could potentially give him the sounds he's looking for and a means to switch between them instantly

What if he doesn't play with distortion?
What if he has an acoustic?

That's my whole point.

Why would you need D tuning on an acoustic is my question.

To play Little Martha by the Allman Brothers Band.

There are quite afew acoustic songs that use D tuning. Its not instantly "RAWR" just because its in D.

I'm preferring Open C right now for me to learn some John Butler however

That's an obvious question. To play songs that are in D tuning. There are more than just Metal songs in D.
