ADADGBE

[7 Strings of Hate]

anyone try that before? i was wanting to play a tool song on my 7 the other day, so i tryed out that tuning and it was actually pretty cool after i got done playin the tool song and just jammed on it

That's the other tuning, down a half-step, I want to use on my seven in addition to my normal Bb tuning once I install a tremel-no.

 

[xwmucradiox]

I used that tuning in a band for quite a while and there are some very cool low chords you can play. I think that tuning would really benefit from a bariton for delicate chording though since many notes dont resolve well at 25.5"

Cool tuning - whenever I play drop-D stuff, I tune to that so if I fuck up the extra note is at least in key.

That gives me an idea for a new thread...

yup

It's the only tuning I use on 7s other than standard.

I use it mostly clean for droney sounds over the 4 lowest strings (often with harmonics) and then play melody lines on the higher strings. It's awesome.

 

[Jongpil Yun]

That would be "double drop" tuning. Drop the B down to A and the E down to D.

Open 2 octave power chord is kinda cool.

try GDADGBE

 

[Open Wounds]

for my band we play in AEADGBE. i guess its close but this thread actually makes me want to try it out.

Real men tune... ADADADA

 

[OzzyC]

Real men tune... ADADADA

Real men don't tune at all. Real men's guitars are scared into submission and tune themselves.

 

[Naren]

Every time I tune to drop D on my RG7EXFX2, I also tune the B down to an A. It's the most logical step. A BDADGBE tuning makes absolutely no sense. That B is completely unusable with the D. With an A, you've got ADADGBE which is just cool. Double octaves. I have tried GDADGBE, but that G is just way too low in my opinion. If you do drop D, the only options for the B are A or G in my humble and glorious opinion of wonder and glory and honor.

Real men tune... ADADADA

False. Real men tune AAAAAAA.

That's right... in octaves...

 

[XEN]

I tune to drop G: GAAAAAA

 

[Naren]

I tune to drop G: GAAAAAA

Ah, the infamous "GAAAAAA" tuning (sometimes written as "Gaaaaah!!"). That works well too, I believe.

 

[OzzyC]

I tune the same as Meshuggah will on the next album.

GbAbAbAbAbAbAb (a min9th lower then what you posted.)

 

[Naren]

I tune the same as Meshuggah will on the next album.

GbAbAbAbAbAbAb (a min9th lower then what you posted.)

I tune the same as Meshuggah will on the album after that:

EbEbEbEbEbEbEbEb

I tune the same as Meshuggah will on the next album.

GbAbAbAbAbAbAb (a min9th lower then what you posted.)

AH, the good old drop E##. I love that tuning.

 

[eleven59]

I tune the same as Meshuggah will on the album after that:

EbEbEbEbEbEbEbEb

All in unison.

 

[FortePenance]

Ejaculadhesivemon used the ability on-topic!

Anyway, I always tune ADADGBE. One song i'm writing requires something like ADADF#D though (i have no 7-string though wtf @_@). Is that open Dm w/ a drop A? rawks man.

the move was effective! Ejaculadhesivemon gained 10EXP.
