What TUNING do you use on your MAIN 7 String?

[Norstorm]

Drop A, and stock E w/ B

 

[Electric Wizard]

AFAGFAG

I switch between that and FAGFACE.
Sometimes I also use CABBAGE.





...But no, drop Ab is the favorite so far.

 

[Kaos-G]

I tried to tune my Carvin in drop A but I wasn't happy with the low string tension as the Sperzels won't allow me to use a gauge thicker than 60 So I went back to standard....

One of my 7's is tuned like a normal guitar, but a half-step down (BEADGBE) and the other is tuned a half step down but the bottom two strings are tuned in fifths. (GDADGBE)

 

[BenSolace]

Drop C with a low G (GCGCFAd), sometimes tuning the low C up to D when playing standard tuning songs. Love it!

 

[MobiusR]

i use Drop G/Ab and A

I haven't found which one i should use but i keep moving around finding whats best...

When i get a 10 string i plan on using FAGEDFACE (Drop Z Tuning)












In all seriousness 10 strings are to much for me XD

On my Mayones I used to play Drop G#. I like this tuning because a low G# has almost an 8-stringy sound, but I still have the Eb tuning which is pretty much "standard"/can be used for many non-djent songs.

exactly why i liked G#. Not only that i can still use the new standard tuning on a 8 string with a low Eb. Having me play in Drop G defeats the purpose of me getting a 8 string

I mean i heard Tiger was played on a 8 till i saw that misha said it was on a 7 then i realize i truely love G#

 

[FatKol]

90% of the time I'm using the Standard tuning.

Sometimes I use also (for ambient music):
A# - F - A# - D# - F - a# - d#

 

[IbanezShreds]

Drop G

 

[Funz]

B standard, but Im currently in a jazz/neo soul group, so standard tunings almost ALWAYS apply. In the past I used Bb standard just so it wasnt in a standard tuning (metal).

Look no further. I have mine set up in Drop C (CGCFADG) since the other guitarist I'm working with uses a 6 in Drop C. My hands don't feel at home on a 6, and that extra string for lead work is just awesome.

So, just a question. what tuning could i use for my 7 when my band drops to drop b? (B,F#,b, E, G#, C#) i want to start using my seven string so i can do some stuff with the extra octave and a half but the other guitarist doesn't want to tune up. I'm kinda stuck i would like to have the drop b tuning on regular starting on the low B string and then have the extra string that would go in the sequence like the one about ^^

 

[Santuzzo]

standard on all of them but the RGD which is a whole step down form standard.
