The SS.org Tunings Thread

this probably isn't what you're looking for, but here's the obligatory Devin Townsend post.

Well, I'm mostly up for groove metal or anything along those lines, I don't think there's many bands playing in that tuning, no idea why 'cause I love it.

Thanks for the suggestions so far. ^_^

Vildhjarta plays in a sort of G tuning and Drop F if thats up your alley at all.

 

[eventhetrees]

Vildhjarta does G standard sometimes.

I know that Structures play in Drop G too.

 

[RickSchneider]

I know that Structures play in Drop G too.

While structures use a low G on their 7 strings, the rest of the strings are tuned to drop A# i believe, so it's not really "Drop G" but more just drop A# with some low G accents sometimes

 

[Forebodingether]

If your into tech death my band Foreboding Ether play in G

The Acacia Strain play drop G on The Dead Walk.

Morician has been using G standard since 1994.

 

[bradthelegend]

The Acacia Strain play drop G on The Dead Walk.

It's actually F Standard.

I believe Architects sometimes play in Drop G#.

And most of Deftones' self-titled album is in G# standard.

 

[Zulphur]

The Acacia is drop G or G# .
F maybe on the new one but not on the dead walk thats for sure.

[Caparison092]

Dead walk was G#, Continent was A, Wormwood was F

 

[BIG ND SWEATY]

It's actually F Standard.

wormwood is the only one in F standard

carnifex also play in drop G

 

[iRaiseTheDead]

+1 to Molotov Solution. Good thing I read the previous comments

 

[Alcoholocaust]

[ImBCRichBitch]

Korn has used it for a few songs. I think Born Of Osiris. And of course Deftones. so yeah a few good ones

 

[breadtruck]

I can think of a few but the only band that stand out to me are Born of Osiris. They only used it on their last album The Discovery but it sounds great. It's produced really well and you can really hear the crushing evilness of those low chords. And there's some groovy "djent" parts if that's your thing.
