Does your tuner have any other options?

If not, you can drop to D by playing the 7th fret on the big E string, compared to the A string, tune it so those match up and you're in Drop D.

Uh... I'm thinking of a way to change to half step down...
Play the 4th fret Low E string and the A string open. Retune the A string to match the 4th fret Low E string.
Play the 5th fret A string and the D string open. Retune the D string to match the 5th fret A string.
Play the 5th fret D string and the G string open. Retune the G string to match the 5th fret D string.
Play the 4th fret G string and the B string open. Retune the B string to match the 4th fret G string.
Play the 5th fret B string and the High E string open. Retune the High E string to match the 5th fret B string.
Play the 5th fret Low E string and the A string open. Retune the 5th fret Low E to match the A string open.

That's a half step down, Dashboard uses that a lot actually... as well as a crazy tuning that will break your B string if you don't make it a different kind of string... as well as Early November's acoustic stuff, ICMAM, a load of bands.

Drop C, you just do Drop D then drop down a whole step(same thing as a half step just another fret down)

and yea, those should keep you busy, any other questions, post.

my tuner has a button that adds flats, can i use that? fuck, i don't think flat's the right word. i don't have it with me so i can't see what it's called but it's something like that. anyway, i'll check it when i get home. maybe i can just use that. if not i'll do it manually. thanks, man.
