So I'm not the most experienced guitar player yet. I have a couple of different guitars as you can see. I'm taking formal lessons and learning mostly in Standard E. I've already learned some basic power chords. I understand drop tuning where you tune the E down to D and in turn change the fingering of something like the A power chord from 5-7-7 to 7-7-7, being able to play the whole chord over a single fret and with only one finger.
Now, I'm also working on getting myself more familiar with my 7-string and playing around with just using that guitar for basic rhythm. Drop D is a pretty common tuning and I think that's where I'm going to go with for my main 6 string tuning. Now I'm looking at what I could tune the low B to that would complement the Drop D tuning.
I have heard of ADadgbe or even GDadgbe. I would like to know some advantages to those with fingerings and chords, especially if there's some single fret chords I could use that include the 7th string.
Because of what I've just written, I don't want anybody who's read this thinking I'm just learning lazy chords. This is mainly just out of my own curiosity and experimentation with different tunings and fingerings.
