Anyone Use Drop G Tuning?

[ibanezRG1527]

o go back and forth from drop G# and standard A# on my rg7620 about 5 times a day (gotta love those tremol-no's) and cant decide which i like more

 

[Greatoliver]

Well I'm in drop A#... That's only 3 semitones away

Drop tunings kick ass tho, the chord possibilities are awesome, and just feels more groovey

 

[Sofos]

Thrill of a Gunfight plays in Drop G

 

[Path]

My band plays in drop G# on the 7s, and Drop A on the 6ers.

GCGCFAD here. LOVE it. Never going back haha

Drop G sharp for our song about a crack addicted whale.

Only good reason for going that low IMO is extremely doomy stonery stoner. makes it sound like a recording of conventional stoner slowed down.

IMHO, best drop-G tone/production

That's like someone saying "Hey I play in drop D" and you answering "I play in drop B, that's almost there"

Whenever I play a drop A 7 string in guitar center, I can groove so hard! I can't wait to get my MH-417

I'd think that would pretty much mandate a baritone-scale guitar, otherwise you're going to run into serious intonation issues. I know that Brandon Jacobs of Mutiny Within tunes his RGD2127Z down to F#. At that point, it seems like you might as well just grab an 8-string.

There's a couple of Scar Symmetry tunes in G.

I play in F and Drop E, but drop G is probably my favorite dropped tuning. the sound still remains relatively clear.

 

[chubby-ol-gangster-core]

i enjoy drop-a, and drop-g#, a friend of mine at my local guitarshop has an axe in drop G, but i wasnt a fan of the sound of the low g...

 

[leftyguitarjoe]

My band uses drop G exclusively. Its pretty sweet.

 

[otisct20]

g# is so heavy and i love it but 10-59 is too light of strings on a standard scale seven, so i tune to drop a for now, until i get a longer scale seven.

GDGCFAD is <3

 

[Ricky_Gallows]

I'm pretty much obsessed with GCGCFAD.

 

[Konfyouzd]

Everyone says that.

... that's what she said...?

I too enjoy this tuning.

 

[F0rte]

I did when I was playing within the ruins!
I enjoyed it, you just need the right gauge strings

 

[Toxic Dover]

My 7 stays in drop G#. It's a fun tuning
