Listen to the advice.... you need to tune DOWN to D bro, not up.... unless your inventing your own tuning.. otherwise tune down one entire step..

make sure and start from the high (high in pitch) E. leaving it last could break it -not so much on guitar, on fiddle this happens all the time. smaller strings always need tension relief first!

im talking about acoustic btw
and im pretty sure u tune up


Jesus Christ... please tell me you are NOT serious.

You will hardly see many tunings that are used that are higher then E Standard.
You tune DOWN never up, unless instructed otherwise. If you need to tune to dropped
D for example you would take your high E (6th string) and pluck the D (4th String) and match
the pitch with the 6th string by tuning DOWN. It doesn't matter if it's an electric or an acoustic
you always tune DOWN.

At this point you would be in dropped D, for here you would match your high E to your Low E (which
is not a D) then from there you would tune DOWN on your 2nd string (b) to match your 5th String (a)
to make the tuning complete - DadgaD

If you really want to tune it UP to D (which would probably sound very special), you can better remove the E string, and replace it with a regular D string.

Everyone here is saying tune down -- why don't you try tuning up a few more times and see why people are saying this?

if you insist on tuning up i suggest replacing your e string with a d string. btw you wont get the sound you are looking for unless you have the low octave and the high octave. may i ask what you are going to play?

i promise the E goes down 1 step rather than up 6 steps.
