Old Gold Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 I like a bit of shameless open E on my Stratocaster, complete with guitar slide. Tex-tastic!Acoustic stays in standard though. None of thon faffing about, eh? Drop D is reserved for drunkenly lying on the floor playing Everlong, and nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.M Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Currently tuned to G# (G#C#F#BD#G#) on my 6 string. Holds well, plays magnificently, sounds "da' bomb". Couple with an overdrive pedal, a Big Muff, and three stages of equalizing (line in, pre-amp, and effects loop) and the walls seep gloom juice.7 strings tuned the same way, only with an additional D# (D#G#C#F#BD#G#). Can't see them being tuned differently for a good while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incredibledisc Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Standard but if I find I'm coming up with the same old chord progressions then I eithergo for Drop D, Open G (DGDGBD) or D Modal (DADGBD) to see if I can get a bit more creative.

Dan G Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 I think B is as low as possible that actually sounds good, any lower and it loses clarity and doesn't get any heavier. G is as low as sounds good (to my ears) if you're playing meshuggah style polymetric stabbed riffs.I personally use "drop-C", as it is most commonly (and incorrectly known) i.e. C G C F A D.Effectively drop-D but all strings tuned down a whole step.Drop-D tuning is really handy for certain suspended chords, and playing in C is heavy enough, yet clear enough so that it has the best of both worlds.

HairyScaryMark Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 With 7 stringStandard B E A D G B E The only improvement I could think of would be to tune it all in 4ths. i.e B E A D G C F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaOfEnergy Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 yeah i tune my six string to standard C, a few years ago i learned that the heaviness has very little to do with the tuning(unless your doing slow heavy), most brutal bands dont seem to tune very low, eg- severe torture - C# deeds of flesh - Dfor faster more complex brutality higher tunings are easier to hear, just got my 7 string though, am tuning that to B flat standard and yeah it sounds heavier for slower/chuggier shit and you dont lose the ability to have higher sounding riffs on the smaller strings, 7 strings fucking rule!

HateEvent Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Cannibal Corpse's live sound is fantastic and their riffs have good clarity. That's fast and technical whilst in standard Bb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
