Re: How do I tune to a guitar
I play a lot of blues and classic rock, so I play with guitars often. Being that the alto is in the key of Eb, you need to transpose to whatever key they are playing in. Just subtract 3 steps. If they're in C, you're in A. Here maybe this will help.
Alto=Guitar
A=C
Bb=C#
B=D
C=Eb
C#=E
D=F
Eb=F#
E=G
F=Ab
F#=A
G=Bb
Some of these fingerings take practice. Our band does a lot of songs in A, G, and E. Those keys are well suited to guitar and vocals.
Good luck!
