Hey guys, I'm looking for some songs to play in Drop B or C# Standard. Preferably something not too hard, considering Im not amazing at guitar yet. I'd perfer some Metal, Metalcore, or Deathcore. But am open to anything I listen to lots of technical death metal, but am not good enough to play it yet. And most core bands stick to simple stuff so I've been trying to learn some songs by them.

Bands I know in C#:
BTBAM
Dying Fetus

Bands I know in Drop B:
All Shall Perish
(New) August Burns Red
(Old) BMTH
The Amity Affliction
For All Those Sleeping
Slipnknot
Stone Sour
(Some) TDWP

I know it might be hard to come up with some considering I named the ones I see in most posts, but I''m sure someone can help.

Thanks for your time and hope you guys can help me find some cool new tunes.

(Please don't comment 'Oh, just man up and play in Standard". I do play in standard, just not for hardcore/ -core genre music).

Architects, Drop B on Ruin, on their more recent albums they use C# standard/Drop B with the lowest string tuned to Ab/G#

If you're into some melo-death Dark Tranquillity's songs are mostly in C# (old stuff) and Drop B (new stuff).

Machine Head is in Drop B as well. Slightly sharp but still.

I know some if not most non-7 Behemoth is C#. I think Neuraxis is in C# as well.

Down.

Almost all of their songs are in C# or Drop B.

A Perfect Circle is C# standard.

Limp Bizkit is C# standard sometimes drop B (yeah I went there, lol)

Early Mudvayne is Drop B.

ps: Amity Affliction's latest songs are in Drop Bb (at least Pittsburgh is tuned this way).

Also, Demon Hunter has a lot of Drop B songs.

Last One Alive is a kick ass song in this tuning.

Suffocation's stuff is all C# as far as I know.

A lot of Slayer from the last 10-15 years has been in C# and some in drop B.

Parkway Drive. Their songs are really fun to play, once you get the hang of them, especially "idols and anchors".

I can't believe nobody's said Black Sabbath yet.

Uh, what did Sabbath do in C#? Lowest I've seen them go is Eb

OT : Just about everything Behemoth has done is in C#, so go crazy with that. For Drop B, new In Flames.
