Anyone Use Drop G Tuning?

[Se7enMeister]

It is my new fav , I still probrably wont go any lower

 

[Shannon]

I still probrably wont go any lower

Everyone says that.

 

[TMM]

Not drop G, but my band plays with standard-interval G tuning. I won't make any claims to never going lower, though.

 

[7 Strings of Hate]

i've been considering drop g, but i think i'm going all the way down to drop e

 

[Vairocarnal]

No dropped G, just standard B tuning dropped 2 steps and I won't change it for the world.
I like my low E being at the same note as a bass' low E on the 3rd fret.

 

[Baphomet_Reich]

I had all my strings down one step, then took the low A to G. Was pretty brutal sounding, but I havent been in that tuning in a while.

 

[Metal Ken]

I used to tune to A standard, but found that to be too low, so i tuned back up to B. I'm a minority here ;p

 

[DevourTheDamned]

man ive just stuck with B standard, Bb and drop A.
Ive considered going to drop G but idk if i would get alot of output, but then again, my loomis does have 707s
anyone know how well a loomis will hold drop G?

 

[Metal Ken]

Should be able to hold it fine, in theory.

My C7HR is the same scale and i use 10-70's or 10-65"s for drop g, plenty of tention

 

[Valeth]

I do, it just makes all the songs I write sound better to me. But then I have to tune up everytime I go to Jazz Ensemble. Only one solution to my problem: another 7.

 

[Zepp88]

Withersoul plays in G Standard

Same here. I started out in B standard, then tuned to A standard because the other guitarist in my band played in one step down on a six, but I thought A was just way too low and I quit that band and tuned back up to B standard. And I've played in standard every since I first bought my first seven with the exception of the few months I was in that band.

Both of my 7's are, and have always been in B.

Though, when I get my 7620 wired back up I might try Bb or maybe A.

 

[Esp Griffyn]

My K-7 came factory tuned to A standard, but I wanted it in B so I could play all the stuff I learned on my EADGBE Les Paul. I havnt changed the tuning on it and never will, and I keep my RG2228 in its standard tuning (the one it comes tuned as anyway) which is F#BEADGBE.

 

[HamBungler]

I tune my 7 anywhere from C standard to Open C with the low G. I'm considering trying Drop G once I get a thicker low string.

 

[Anthony]

I use a weird version of drop G in one of my bands songs. What would drop D with a dropped G be called?

 

[Mastodon]

I'm tuned kind of close to G.

Right now I' using G# C# F# B E g# c#

 

[amonb]

I just tried Drop-G on my Yamaha but it sounded like arse

I would need to invest in some thicker strings I think. I couldn't believe the loss of tone I got when I went from Drop-A to Drop-G, even after messing with settings etc.

But I was using a 10-59 set

I just don't think I would need to go that low... (Blasphemous words I know!)

 

[DarkKnight369]

I have toyed with the idea of drop G. It really does sound brutal. I do like drop A for me, which is new considering I am used to B standard. If I went any lower than G, I would get an 8 string though.
