List of Pro Guitar songs with *Alternative Tunings*

[Simplyme_Bebe]

I believe No One Knows is played, C F Bb Eb G c. Again it does depend on how Harmonix charted the song. But that is the tuning I've learned to play their entire Songs For The Deaf album, except for one I believe.

Thanks for the correction.

I'm glad to have helped with this thread. This thread will be extremely useful to both me and anyone who wants to play these songs outside the game. Keep up the good work everyone!

Misery Business is drop d with a capo on the first fret

Not correct. It's down a half step from Drop D, not up a half step. The tuning is Drop Db.

What about Pro-Bass charts?

Tegan and Sara - The Con: A dropped to G + Capo on first fret.

Yea I'm gonna have to take back my statement on the first page, the tunings in the trainers are full of sh-it. One obvious example is that it says to use standard tuning for Fortunate Son when it is clearly not in standard tuning.

I decided to have a look at Rock Lobster in Guitar Pro and it looks like if you want to use Hmx's chart to play it you're going to have to tune to C F D G F F which is completely different to the tuning in the trainer which says E A D G A A.

Hey everyone. Thank you for the feedback.

I played with the tunings that were listed and confirmed a bunch of songs, but also found that some were not correct. Please let me know if you know the tunings for the songs that were not correct.

Wrong:
Killing Loneliness - not Drop D
Bad Moon Rising - not Drop D
Before I forget - not Drop D

Right:
All other songs listed in Drop D
Simple Man

Some more additions I found while playing. Also, I have no idea what the correct tuning is - so an internet cookie to whoever can find any of them out!

Crosstown Traffic
I Need You Tonight
Hey Man Nice Shot
Walking on the Sun

Pride and Joy

I just want to know why this information isn't included. It doesn't take up any space. It could easily have appeared right at the top of the screen in the song trainers. I know you can turn on the chord/help option and look at the nut, but as many have pointed out even this doesn't include half steps. I'd like to think there is some weird licensing clause where they are aloud to transcribe the song but not allowed to divulge the tuning in which it's transcribed, rather than just laziness or apathy. But how could they not think this matters to people?!

The main attraction is that you can now play the music on real instruments. How can they teach you everything about playing the song except the one crucial key that actually makes that transcription playable?

It does seem odd to go out of the way to provide the original tablature for the song and not provide the tuning.
