The SS.org Tunings Thread

[Chris Bowsman]

i tend to have a heavier picking hand so i think il go with maybe the 72 or 74s. i recently brought my guitar to drop g and it sounded really muddy so idk if it was due to string gauge or just my amp sucking extremely bad and not handling it.

Try adjusting your pick attack, and maybe even the style of pick. You can get away with some fairly light strings for really low tunings with the right playing style.

i use drop-b and drop-a# hardcore tuning for my 6's. for my 7 i use drop-G#. for my 8 i use a variation of drop-b: F#,B,F#,B,E,G#,C#,D

I am still having the AEAEAEE on 7 and I love it. It is soo powerful and nicely sustaining.

After the Burial- F Standard 8 string (minus a few songs) and Bb standard 7 string on their first album

my frailty is in drop Ab?

What's Circles' tuning? Isn't it like Drop G# on 6 strings?

No answer?

 

[Guitarman700]

No answer?

You would be correct, drop G#

 

[JosephAOI]

You would be correct, drop G#

Alright, thanks

Anyone here know of Lupara? They have like one song on youtube but no doubt have the most raw sound I've ever heard! Anyway, I just bought their album on iTunes and I wanna learn some of these songs but I can't figure out the tuning. Anyone happen to know it?

Talking about these guys?

Official Website of Jeremy Wagner

I personally have no clue, but if I were you, I'd shoot him an email from his website and ask

 

[Aerospace274]

Haha yeah, those would be the guys!

 

[Captain Shoggoth]

Sounds like C.

 

[Aerospace274]

That's what I thought (C is like my "standard") but I can't seem to get the right sound. Must be intonation or tone or something. Hrmmm

 

[beyondtheepilogue]

I have a 6 in standard, a 6 in drop Bb, a 6 in open C (CGCGCE), and a standard 7. The goal is to get an 8 and tune it standard and another 7 and tune it open C with a low F.

I made a new tuning last night for 7 string

GCFCFAD

Dont know if I created it but I cant say I can recognize it anywhere, I think it sounds awesome but heavy gauge strings is a good idea

 

[tonybark]

What tuning is monuments song "The Uncollective" in?

 

[Empryrean]

Cool 8 string one i was messing with

string 8 to 1
G-A-D-A-D-G-B-D

 

[BugVomit]

My band tunes down 1.5 Steps.

Other guitarist uses a 7, so he tunes to
G# C# F# B D G# C#

I play an 8 string, same tuning except my lowest is an Eb. A lot of times I end up the 8 as a "bomb string" similar to Torche, so I get some real meaty chugs.
