| Oct 7, 2021 at 15:26 | comment | added | Jasarien | @alfonso well... yeah, it's just a button press in Guitar Pro, but that wasn't the point of the question (which I might also add is now over 10 years old). I wasn't complaining about it, just asking for reasoning behind it. | |

| Jan 20, 2011 at 20:40 | comment | added | Anonymous | They do it to bug you; Some artists are like that you know, they forget where they came from and who's buying their music. And, I agree, it would be considerate of them to say when they are going to tune down a half or whole step, though, out of courtesy to them I think we should let them tune two steps or more unannounced. :-) | |
