How to get to half step down from standard
- 6th stringE2 → E♭21 semitone down (1 fret)
- 5th stringA2 → A♭21 semitone down (1 fret)
- 4th stringD3 → D♭31 semitone down (1 fret)
- 3rd stringG3 → G♭31 semitone down (1 fret)
- 2nd stringB3 → B♭31 semitone down (1 fret)

Go a little below the new note, then tune up to it. A string tuned up to pitch stays there longer.
About half step down
Every string goes down a semitone. Chord shapes stay the same and everything sounds a semitone lower, which helps when a melody sits a little high for your voice. The slacker strings also make bends easier.
