doesn anyone know what tuning Dark Castle uses?

 

[s4tch]

The following bands also use 7-string standard (BEADGBE) tuning:
- James LaBrie/Marco Sfogli on their last 2 records
- Haji's Kitchen on their huge first record. Also features some great riffing, just have a listen.

I have just recently started messing around with a bunch of open tunings. I never switched tunings around before, but i'm slowly realizing the options that you have.

What tuning is monuments song "The Uncollective" in?

8 strings

F A# F A# D# F A# D#


To quote Browne from a way-old post...

"It's just DADGAD in Bb, with a high 4th." - and a low F.

The Devin Townsend Project also uses Open B, Open Bb, and Open C#, just open C moved up or down in pitch.

Meshuggah uses E-Bb-Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb for a few songs on Nothing, particularly Perpetual Black Second, and Bb-Bb-Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb for Spasm

Sorry if these were already posted, I didn't have time to read every single post.

[KarlMagnusRobin]

Sounds like B standard or Drop-A, it's late overhere right now and my ears arent awake.. but they use 7's, and it dosen't sound that downtuned to me!

 

[ContoursUK]

I got one here.

GDBCAbA

 

[guitarneeraj]

Just my
1) Devin also uses Open B tuning, aside from Open C.
2) Aliases (UK tech metal) also use Open C tuning.

Cheers!

 

[MarrowOfTheEarth]

Opeth also uses open D minor 9 tuning (DADFAE) on more than half of Ghost Reveries. Ghost of Perdition, Baying of the Hounds, Reverie/Harlequin Forest, The Grand Conjuration, and Isolation Years use this tuning.
