^that's pretty neat!

I'm using Drop A w/all fourths on my seven
[ AEADGcf, I would recommend trying a Perfect 4th tuning to everyone. The only negative is you cant play conventional bar chords (using 6/5 strings) and you can't do diatonic sweeping, but it forces you to play the guitar intervallically, and more organically.


On my 6 I'm using Eb Standard, but only to learn Protest the Hero songs (lazy bastard working from tab so I leave the tuning as it is).

Would anyone happen to know ALL the songs by In Flames that are in drop A#?

I've been tuning my 7 string to Drop A# and loving it and I've just discovered that some of In Flames' stuff is in drop A#.

The most I know so far is that some songs on Clayman and Colony are in this tuning. I can dig around and compile a list of all In Flames' drop A# songs but I figured I'd ask here first to see if there is an In Flames expert who knows off the top of their head.

From Colony:

- Ordinary Story
- Colony

The rest of the songs are in C Standard.

From Clayman:

- Pinball Map
- As the Future Repeats Today

The rest of the songs are in C Standard.

From Reroute to Remain:

- System
- Egonomic
- Minus
- Black & White

The rest of the songs are in C standard.

Transparent is in Drop-G.

These albums are entirely in Drop A#: (as far as I can remember)

- Soundtrack to Your Escape
- Come Clarity
- A Sense of Purpose
- Sounds of a Playground Fading

The new one will probably be in Drop A# entirely because they seem to have abandoned other tunings since Soundtrack came out.

Keep it simple. Drop A on a 7.

 

[ScurrilousNerd]

Silly tuning that I torture myself with:

E A G C F A D on a 26.5" 7 string

I'm experimenting alot with a modified DADGAD tuning..

(Low to high) A# G C F G C

AGCFAD.

That's right, Mastodon.

Basically turns every two-finger power chord into an anus-tearing low octave chord. Hell yes.

 

[BEADGBE7]

you take a 25.5 in 7 string, and tune-it down a half-step, and thats about all she can handle IMO

Edit: Just realized I've never posted in this thread.

24.75" 6: drop c
25.5" 6: drop a
26.5" 7: drop g

That it for me... for now.

Can't seem to find it, what was Keith's tuning used in most his videos? I think he called it drop Bb or something. 7 string of course...

 

[stevexc]

I know the Pillars of Creation tab was in Drop A#/Bb: Bb, F, Bb, Eb, G, C, F.

E A G C F A D on a 26.5" 7 string

This actually looks absurdly fun

Is System of a Down C or C#?

 

[Tzar27]

Is System of a Down C or C#?

Both, actually. Drop C on their Self-titled, Toxicity, and Steal This Album!, Drop C# on Mezmerize and Hypnotize. I suspect that they just play their old stuff up in C# or new stuff down in C (less likely methinks) live, since I've never seen Daron and Shavo switch axes in videos, but I could be mistaken.
