Location: Scotland | Use a regular 13-56 medium set, but replace the 1st and 2nd strings with a 0.016 and 0.018. That will work for all the common slide tunings such as D, E, G and A. |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | Well .... you can just tune your high and low e strings with the tuner, for e tuning, for instance just turn it into an open e working off your e strings ... I probably didn't explain that well, but it gives you an idea ...
or a cheap chromatic tuner like Korg's, you can get it for about 20 bucks. I snagged one at Guitar Center during their labor day sale for $10.00, works great. |
