C tuning is a type of guitar tuning. The strings of the guitar are tuned two whole steps lower than standard tuning. The tuning is commonly used by metal and hard rock artists to achieve a heavier, deeper sound. The third string is tuned 3 frets lower from D to B.
Deftones guitarist Stephen Carpenter, one of the first notable metal musicians who put extended-range guitars on the map, confessed he was actually very much against seven-strings at first. The tuning is basically the same as a six string, except for the bottom two which are [from high to low] a B and an F. That instrument is, in fact, a mandolin.
The mandolin is a musical instrument in the lute family. It generally has four courses of doubled metal strings, for a total of eight strings, that are tuned in unison.

I plug the guitar cable to the tuner input and the tuner has three modes: guitar, bass and chromatic.
When I strum any string in the guitar with the tuner in guitar mode, the tuner reads it and displays things like 4D , 6E , What do those numbers and letters indicate? What do those letters indicate? So the high E thinnist string would be 1E , then the B string would be 2B , then the G string would be 3G , ect all the way to the low E string. The chromatic mode just tells you what note you are playing and how close it is to that note. Another use for chromatic mode is to tell what notes you are playing on your guitar.
It is very useful when you start learning guitar and you don't know what note you're playing. Also if you feel like notes are going out of tune higher on your guitar you can check with the chromatic mode. If your string is in tune and your higher notes are out of tune you may have an intonation problem or you may have to change your strings. In short, guitar mode is for tuning the strings on your guitar to standard tuning.
While chromatic mode shows you the current note you are playing and how out of tune you are with that note so it can be use for more than just tuning your guitar although it still can be used that way. My advice would be is use guitar mode until you have a good grasp of what each string should be tuned to then switch to chromatic mode because it can do a lot more. A digital tuner will generally show you the name of the closest note to the one it can hear to the nearest semitone , and an indicator showing you whether you are sharp, flat, or exactly on that note.
So, in chromatic mode, A indicates that it can hear something close to an A. There will also be some sign -- sometimes a flashing light, sometimes an animated needle -- for fine-tuning. Tune your instrument until that indicator is in the middle.
D is the fourth string, hence 4D ; 6E refers to the 6th string, bottom E. As a beginner, use the 'guitar' setting. I had a pupil; who had tuned his low E with a tuner, and it was spot on - only an octave too high! No, it didn't break, but as far as he was concerned, the string was right! This is getting easier already, right?
It's pretty much the same thing all the way down. You will continue on with the rest of the strings, from the top to the bottom, in standard tuning. Once you get all of the strings tuned, go back through and tune them all a second time. You will often find that one has come out of tune during the process.
This can often be from turning the wrong machine head at some point. Going through them all a second time will ensure that your guitar is in perfect tune. It is also good practice to tune your guitar often, even if it sounds okay. Strings can expand and contract depending on conditions, and they will go out of tune at some point. As the strings age, it will become harder and harder to keep them in tune.
This fact, along with some light rust at the tops and bottoms of the strings, is a sure indicator that you need some new strings. But let's save that for another day, right now you're all tuned up!
