Drob Bb most of the time Bb F A# D# G# C F

Drop G#, just loving it, i need longer scale for that though........
C and Bb standard
but since I've become comfortable with drop tunings i rarely play on standard
for some reason the tuning makes more sense to me on a 7

A,D,G,C,F,A,D

so that's essentially a normal 7 string but one whole step down. or, a D tuned 6 string with an extra low. or, cool.

what's this frequency business? this is the first i've heard of this... :scratch: (yea i know each pitch has a frequency and such, :lol: but i've never heard tunings described that way.)

My main guitar lives in B-E-A-D-G-B-E tuning but my backup is usually in A_D_A_D_G_B_E or A-E-A-D-G-B-E

The low B it`s just not too low for me, so, I tune all a step down.
I hate drop tunings in my seven, but I love it in sixiers, dunno why.
