. Then again though, it wouldn't be the tonic, though you could write some cool shit based around F# mixolydian
Assuming E Aeolian, it would be F# locrian.
Drop E !
Because :
--------------E | - B - | E - - A - - D - - G - - B - - E
-------| 8 drop | 7 std | - - SIX STRINGS STANDARD - - |
for me it's the most interesting to do...
I agree completely. It only makes sense in my mind to use drop E. That's the first thing that came to me head.
Out of curiosity, is the bottom E of this tuning equivalent to the top string of a bass?

Like a 5 string bass? JesusLowest I've heard someone get good results on an 8 string drop tuning is Bb I think.
Drop E is pretty nice sounding and you can always double up and practice with other favorite songs to ge ta good feel of it.
I've got the Intrepid at DGDGDGBE and it'll stay at this tuning. Nice open tuning style for the lower strings and doubling up on octaves for more of the wall of sound type effect, and the standard on the highs so that higher pitched leads are in standard.
