tunings

Outside of Josh, I'm not sure who has experience in this realm. Do we have many "Neo-Classical Shredders"? :shrug: Anyway, I'm looking at doing a number of Flute (or Violin) & Cello Duets with one of the kids. So I'm looking at a tuning that has a Low C. Right now, the only option is to...

Hi guys, I just came back from the HellFest (biggest metal open air in France, about 170 000 people over the weekend). It was great as usual, and i saw some pretty amazing shows. Just wanted to share a thought about down tuned guitars (drop E, F, G ...) on stage in open air festivals : 90% of...

I've been on a serious Voivod kick recently, having rather fallen in love with them after years of not quite seeing the point. I've heard in quite a few interviews that Piggy had one or more oddball tunings that he used on some albums, but at the same time no-one seems to be able to agree on...

My friends band and I want to play in really low tunings,such as drop E. Would an aftermath be good for such a low tuning like that?

Everyone on here will probably hate it but here is something from a side project I have going with my friend Chad from A Dark Orbit/When Knives Go Skyward The Collapse | Frontierer

Does anybody else here find that a guitar in dropped C for example, will sound different to a guitar in C standard, when you play the same riff? I think I might just be weird, I seem to prefer the sound of A standard, but I write stuff for my band better in dropped A. Am I a fucking...

Hi All, This is my first post on the forum! I have asked the same question on sevenstring.org forum although it applies to both places and I hope to get more opinions if you dont mind. I have recently found myself playing more metal and I would like to get a guitar for lower tunings or...

I've been wondering this for a while. When I play in dropped tunings, my writing style drastically differs to when I play in standard tuning. Neither writing is 'better' than the other, just differs alot. Kinda hard to describe. Does anyone else find this?

So, in rediscovering my love of The Tea Party, I've started playing around with alternate tunings again, and am coming up with some stuff I rather like. Here's a clip of something that came to me tonight, tuning is DADABC# http://soundcloud.com/aaronvsmusic/dadabcdemo

Anyone use one of these? Peterson VS-R StroboRack | Sweetwater.com I see that it has DADGAD programmed into it, and the option of quickly bringing up other altered/oddball/distressed_romeo tunings is pretty damn tempting. Plus, I can make it say "SELL ME YOUR STRAT DREW", apparently...

A couple of nights ago I restrung my Yamaha 26.25" 6er with 10-52 gauge strings, tuned it up to D standard (from the original Bb) and took the action right down. I knew it would be pretty cool, as it's a great guitar, but it's really blown me away quite how well it's worked. I was able to get...
