Whole Step Down tuning changes the fret positions used by each scale. Select a key and scale below to open its map, note list, position tabs and matching chords. The scale finder reads strings high to low as D A F C G D. Whole Step Down lowers every string by two semitones. The string relationships stay the same as Standard tuning.
